The Secret Country books are among my all-time favorites.
My main requirement is that the characters don't forget everything when they return home--that always made me want to throw the book across the room, because what's the point of the adventure if you don't get to remember it?
Tried to write one once, with mixed success that had more to do with my writing at the time than the genre--though it's being a hard-sell genre right now makes me a little leerier of going back to it than it might be otherwise.
