I would discourage providing the Golden Compass books. Many parents here led a boycott on these books. I found them disturbing, and I normally don't have a problem with book content.

Definitely
Redwall and its sequels.
What about
The Chronicles of Narnia? Or
Wrinkle in Time and its sequels?
I just finished
Peter and the Starcatchers and loved it. There are four in this series by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson. Earlier this year I read all three books in Rick Riiordan's
Kane Chronicles and enjoyed them very much.
I read
The Mysterious Benedict Society a while back and thought it was delightful.
Books by Jane Yolen:
Pit Dragon series,
Wizard's Hall, and
Sword of the Rightful King all have male protagonists.
Books by Bruce Coville:
MoonGobble and Me series,
Goblins in the Castle, and
The Magic Shop series.
I haven't read
The Underland Chronicles, but it's very well regarded.
