teen girl reading recommendations

Hey, my niece Sabrina likes to read. She's about to turn 13 in June. Can you make any suggestions for wholesome (Christian or non) books that a girl her age might enjoy? I'm thinking I might get her some for her birthday, because apparently she reads up a storm and needs constant replenishment. Thanks!

Oh boy... Let me see. Since she's an avid reader, she probably has read many of these, but just in case... (A couple of these might be a little bit too old for her, but I think she should be okay with any of them.)

Books by: Louisa May Alcott, L.M. Montgomery, Eleanor Estes, Agatha Christie, Maud Hart Lovelace, Elizabeth Spear, Elizabeth Enright, Margaret Sidney.

Titles (excuse the lack of italics): Across Five Aprils, Rifles for Watie, The Westing Game, Johnny Tremain, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Swiss Family Robinson, Heidi, Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, The Golden Goblet, Red Sails to Capri, The Door in the Wall, Pollyanna.

Can you tell I love young adult fiction? :-)
