The Neverending Story
Now You See It . . .
I, Coriander
Heir Apparent
The Castle in the Attic

Steel Magic has 3 children (siblings) going to another world. This one straddles between YA and MG books, but I thought I'd suggest it anyway.
The Lives of Christopher Chant is one of the Chrestomanci books by Diana Wynne Jones and has the MC moving between worlds. There are other books in this series, that you might like, but I don't remember how many of them have the MC moving from world to world.
Then there is A Tale Of Time City, also by... You know what, I'm just going to suggest ANY of the books by Diana Wynne Jones. That way I don't have to go in and list them all. She's a great writer and has some wonderfully funny books, as well as some more serious ones as well. She writes for ages from 10 or 12 up to adult. But none of the books of her's that I've read would I hesitate to hand to an advanced YA reader. I actually let my daughter start reading everything by Ms. Jones at 10--and I don't think that she found one of the books that she didn't enjoy either.

The MC should stay there for the most of the book if not forever. I don't really care if they are male or female, as long as they aren't dumb, obnoxious and generally unlikeable. The reason for them being there could be that they hove some sort of super power, some sort of prophecy being involved or just by mistake.
As for romace, I don't really care. It would be nice to have some relationship building, but the romance shouldn't be the center of the story.
Thanks a lot in advance, if you know some other forums about these sort of books, let me know. I'm 16 btw, which could help you in deciding what books to recommend.
P.S. Sorry for any grammar mistakes, English is not my first language.
