The Young Wizards series by Diane Duane.

I love those books.

I'm starting to, now. It's harder than one would think; one has to decide which way the sentence would flow the best, and all that stuff. gonk
It's pretty much writing with someone else's ideas.

Not really, considering that English stole quite a few French words and idioms (I still think the idiom bit is a bit strange; I always think they should have different idioms!).
But it is hard to make the sentences not sound awkward.
