If you haven't read Harry Potter, that is a must.
On the other hand, a series that I absolutely love that isn't as widely known is the Chaos Walking Trilogy by Patrick Ness. The Knife of Never Letting Go, The Ask and the Answer, and Monsters of Men. It is dystopian fiction and extremely well written with a gripping plot. I've read the series multiple times.
Edit: Here's the synopsis of the first book, but I don't think it does it justice. [Link to Amazon] (http://www.amazon.com/Knife-Never-Letting-Reissue-bonus/dp/0763676187)
Todd Hewitt is the only boy in a town of men. Ever since the settlers were infected with the Noise germ, Todd can hear everything the men think, and they hear everything he thinks. Todd is just a month away from becoming a man, but in the midst of the cacophony, he knows that the town is hiding something from him -- something so awful Todd is forced to flee with only his dog, whose simple, loyal voice he hears too. With hostile men from the town in pursuit, the two stumble upon a strange and eerily silent creature: a girl. Who is she? Why wasn't she killed by the germ like all the females on New World? Propelled by Todd's gritty narration, readers are in for a white-knuckle journey in which a boy on the cusp of manhood must unlearn everything he knows in order to figure out who he truly is.
"There's a boy named Todd who lives in this weird place called Prentisstown with his dog, Manchee. What's so weird about Prentisstown? Well, there are no women in Prentisstown, for starters, and there's also this weird germ called Noise that makes everyone's thoughts loud enough for everyone else to hear. So yeah, weird place."
I know its not much but its just so good I can't bring myself to give even minor spoilers. If you can ever trust an anonymous person on the internet, trust me. It's rough, fast, and beautiful.

Pro tip: get the 2nd book before you finish the first one, cuz the cliffhanger will hit you in the gut, hard.
P.s. if you end up reading it, let me know how you like it!
