Pick one of the Discworld Series from Terry Prattchet. I have read it as a teen/tween, my wife discovered it a year ago, and we both really like it.
Depending on your tastes:
* if you like straight up fantasy parody, you can go from the beginning, and follow Rincewinds journey, a mage hapless at magic, running away from peril of mostly his own making.
* if you want different take at folk-tales, with a hint of Shakespear and a dash of, dare I say a dash of feminism, follow Witches of Lancre. Granny Weatherwax is an icon!
* if you like noir and urban-fantasy, follow Ankh-Morpork city watch led by daring Samuel Vimes and then continue with introduction of newspaper, resurection of post office, rebuilding of banking system and ushering in the age of steam.

I loved most of them. Didn't regret reading a single one. You might or might not want to refer to a reading guide: https://www.reddit.com/r/Fantasy/comments/8900fu/the_discwor...
