I was thirteen eight years ago, and I was never a girl, so -- what might she be reading? She's a pretty mainstream kid, a little quiet. I imagine she'd be into realistic fiction rather than fantasy or sci-fi, interested in stuff a little more literary than Gossip Girl, and she likes humor and suspenseful plot twists. I liked Freak the Mighty and I am the Cheese, myself, but I think they're not recent enough. Bonus points if the title of the book is evocative enough on its own that someone not familiar with the book could get an impression of its contents.
