I love varjak paw it was only 2 books long another book i liked was the tygrine cat and the guardians of ga'hoole books too
cell, pet semetary and misery are my fave stephen king books and there was this book as a kid i enjoyed (though i regret picking it up and reading it before i really understood it) called the pole seekers
[link] its a great book if you can get your paws on it =3=
