Tamora Pierce? Pratchett's Tiffany Aching books ( The Wee Free Men, A Hat Full of Sky, Wintersmith and I Shall Wear Midnight )?
Seraphina is wonderful.
Giles: Stop that, you two. Riley: He started it... Xander: He called me a bad name! I think

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh, maybe Diane Duane's Young Wizards series? Speaking of Trek tie-in novels...because she wrote some...

Because books.
She might like James Dashner's Maze Runner series, or Robison Wells's Variant and Feedback.

Definitely all the Tamora PIerce, but yeah, my first thought was "has she tried the Star Trek/Star Wars books?"

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
I loved Christopher Pike at that age, for the creepy, supernatural-y when Stephen King was still beyond me.
