I haven't even read the third. I wasn't really a huge fan of the 2nd. The first was awesome though.
And now, my list. Some are quite self explanatory.
The Usual Rules- Joyce Maynard (About a girl going through the struggles of losing her mom in 9/11. It's written amazingly, and it made me cry.)
For Freedom- Kimberly Brubaker Bradley (About a girl who was a spy for the Resistance in WWII)
The Inkheart Trilogy- Cornelia Funke (They're amazing. That's all I can say.)
The Books of Pellinor- Allison Croggen (I don't even know how to describe these. Um, they're about a girl name Maerad. There, how's that? I'm sure if you enjoy the Wizard of Oz and/or Wicked, you'd like these.)
The Oz Books -L. Frank Baum (No, not just the Wizard of Oz. Read them ALL. There's 12 I do believe. I've read 8 I think, and all of them are fab. Strange, but fab.)
Alice in Wonderland- Charles Lutwidge Dodgson
The Secret Garden- Frances Hodgson Burnett
Black Beauty - Anna Sewell
Maximum Ride Series. - James Patterson (Okay, so 4 and 6 aren't that hot, but it's a good series.)
My Sister's Keeper- Jodi Picoult (About a girl who sues her parents for medical emancipation when she is expected to donate a kidney to her sister who has leukemia. If you've seen the movie, great. Good for you. The book is 500 times better.)
Also, anything Sara Dessen has written. Every single book of her's I've read, I've never been disappointed.

For Tea's list I agree with most of books under the Wizard of Oz(I've only read 3 of these though, most of them are REALLY hard to find here), but I haven't read all of the Maximum Ride books, which I don't really like or dislike. Lost interest after the second book. I really enjoyed the Alex Cross adult thriller books by James Patterson though. I haven't read any Sarah Dessen either.
For Jahn's list, everything down to again, the Wizard of Oz, minus Heidi, which I've only technically read a picture book version. I've read one Ramona book, which I liked, but wasn't really drawn to the others. And I liked Noughts and Crosses. Great series. The rest I haven't read, butI've been meaning to read the Westing Game.
