she's currently reading LOTR and likes it, so she's used to pretty heavy reading.
She especially likes Anthropomorphic type books (intelligent animals), so she's also reading the Spellsinger series by Alan Dean Foster.
Oh and empowered female type characters, so I'm thinking Sourcery for her.
My son likes teen and older Fantasy, Urban Fantasy stuff, such as the Dresden files, which he's nearly finished the series, so I'm on the look out for something else for him.
I figure Pratchett will be some light relief for him.
I'll check out the Tiffany Aching books tho thanks.

If he liked Dresden, he might well like the Jacka Benedict series. (Fated? is the first I think). Don't quote me on the order. He might also like Frank Tuttle's Markhat series--in fact this has such strong male and female characters, it might work for both kids.
As for Pratchett, when I asked about where to start, I was advised this:

I think it may appeal to the female in your family, although some of the jokes are very much aimed at picking up on sword and sorcery stereotypes.
