I'm surprised the Eragon series by Christopher Paolini has not been mentioned.

English is not my first language either. I think they would enjoy Skellig by David Almond. I've read Eragon by C. Paolini, and I wouldn't recommend it. It can be very tedious.
For your niece, I would also recommend Coraline by Neil Gaiman. I see someone recommended the His Dark Materials trilogy. I've read it, but I wouldn't recommend it to someone that young.

The Septimus Heap series, starting with Magyk. They have a similar feel to Harry Potter - I started reading them when I was going through withdrawal after finishing HP!
