[The Inheritance Games](https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/fa551f44-7356-49f1-884b-c96a95c66110) by Jennifer Lynn Barnes!
Also [Nevermoor](https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/6a6d5ca1-b2f5-47be-828c-018144d3bbc7) by Jessica Townsend! (It’s the only series that makes me feel the way the Harry Potter books used to)
the uglies series
the shadowhunter chronicles by cassandra clare! (the mortal instruments, the infernal devices, the dark artifices, and the last hours)
A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik! I would describe it as Harry Potter if they threw all the kids into Hogwarts unsupervised and it became The Hunger Games in there, but honestly I think that’s a disservice to this excellent book – it’s so much more than that. Give that description to your daughter and see if she’s interested in it though, lol!
For teen paranormal romance, Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater (I like her Raven Cycle series even better, but Shiver has Twilight vibes and The Raven Boys does not).
For teen realistic romance a la John Green: pretty much any book by Jenny Han or Sarah Dessen.
The Princess Diaries series, Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants series, and Louise Rennison’s Angus, Thongs, and Full Frontal Snogging series (absolutely hilarious!)
The selection – Kiera Cass
The grace year – Kim Liggett
The book of Ivy – Amy Engel
The Cheerleaders – Kara Thomas
The Old Kingdom series by Garth Nix
Stardust by Neil Gaiman- anything by him really, but I think Stardust is best for that age.
The Dragonlance books by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman, 2 or 3 trilogies and a few standalones I think.
Howls Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones
And if she’s interested in nonfiction, and you’re okay with a brief discussion about whether it’s possible/feasible to have sex in space, Packing For Mars by Mary Roach was great.
Bit of a stretch as they’re below her reading level, and the level of technology probably seems dated, but I enjoyed the Artemis Fowl series by Eoin Colfer at that age.
