The entire Prydain series is great choice for kids who'd love an exciting fantasy adventure that's not nearly as long as a Harry Potter book. 'The Black Cauldron' can stand on it's own as a classic hero's journey that reads like a non-stomp romp with deeper themes than most "adult" fantasy fiction. More exciting than Narnia, it was Lloyd Alexander books that eventually led me to Tolkien as a kid & I can't think of a better series to make young fans of magical adventure into life-long readers.
