I second the suggestion for Harry Potter. However, I suggest you start with the third book, Prisoners of Azkaban. The books each cover a single year while Harry and his friends are in school. In the first two books, they are just little kids and it is hard to relate to them. By the third book, they feel more like young adults and that makes it feel more interesting. And I don't think you will miss any vital information by skipping the first two.
And these are excellent audiobooks. I have only heard the American version narrated by Jim Dale, but he is great with distinct voices for the many, many characters which he is able to keep consistent through the entire series.
