If you properly appreciated LXG, you wouldn't have to wait. I personally am impatiently waiting for Penelope.
Also, Joan Aiken ROCKS. I lent Hannah the complete Dido collection (From The Wolves of Willoby Chase through to Dido and Pa, at least), and she ignored them for 18 months, so NO LOVE FOR HER. It helps greatly to read them in order, particularly for any books past The Stolen Lake. (hmm. My company put out the set I have, so I think I can get more copies for very little. I should look into that.)
I was forced to edit this post to mention that my favorite of the books is still Nightbirds on Nantucket, followed closely by Dido and Pa and Blackhearts at Battersea, followed by the rest of them. The newer ones aren't as good, but still better than most.
