In the YA vein, I've always enjoyed Garth Nix. He has an older YA series called the Abhorsen Trilogy (Canada & the US)/The Old Kingdom (everywhere else) which is just excellent, and its totally clean. I mean, there's some innuendo, and some off-screen sex, and a major part of the magic takes place in the realm of death, but I would be more than happy for any impressionable young minds to read it.
He has also done some younger YA called the Keys to the Kingdom. It takes me about 2 hours to read each book, but they are a very enjoyable 2 hours
<edit>
I forgot about the Obernewtyn Chronicles by Isobel Carmody...the only catch is that the series is unfinished And while the latest book was released in 2008, the one before that was released in 1999 According to http://www.obernewtyn.net/e107/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?113967.0#post_338810, the last book is finished and just waiting editing, with a Feb 2011 release (in Australia, at least), but I'm not holding my breath.
