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."

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.

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.

Seconding Tiffany Aching. Also Jessica Day George, maybe. Possibly Douglas Adams?
