ok try the twilight series (stephanie meyer) and any books by shannon hale!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander are great, especially if she likes older reading material!. It has a boy about her age in it, so no need to worry about anything racy happening!. It's a bit science fiction-y, but not in a weird way!. I loved them when I was here age, and I too was advanced when I read!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

For a young adult/teen Meg Cabot's young adult books!. She is the best author!. also best selling!. She wrote tons of books including the Princess Diaries (Movies based on her books), Mediator (upcoming movie), 1-800-Missing (TV show based on her books), Jinx, Airhead and more!. She has adult books too, so you can grow with her!.
