Thank you all! I will pass it on-- I also have some old trek tie in novels at my mom's house.
Unfortunately, I think she bailed on A Wrinkle in Time!

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?"

I loved Christopher Pike at that age, for the creepy, supernatural-y when Stephen King was still beyond me.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
She likes Harry Potter, The Hunger Games and The Omen. She loves musicals,video games, Star Wars/Star Trek and is impatient and easily bored.
For a kid who likes musicals, I'd recommend Better Nate Than Ever by Tim Federle, a fun new middle-grade novel about a kid who goes to Broadway, and Drama by Raina Telgemeier, a graphic novel about a middle-school drama club. Graphic novels in general might be something to look into, actually.
