She likes sad ones and funny ones. Exciting one are also very suitable. Anything else is fine too.

When I was a preteen, I read easy "fish out of water" books. Though I was raised WASP, I read a lot of biracial, mostly jewish holocaust novels. Judy Blume was most likely the precursor to this. I got into coming of age stories with the twist that the girls had duel identities to deal with. Which is an interesting, important theme for a pre-teenage girl.
The House on Prague Street by Hanna Demitz is one I remember.

Try Eragon and Eldest.
Eragon was written by a teenager, he subsequently has written Eldest, but I believe that he is now past his teens.
(not positive tho)
They are both extremely well written and an enjoyable read.
I will eventually buy the trilogy. (the third book is not available yet)
at least to my knowledge.
I would also give her The Foundation series by Issac Asimov.
It gives a lot of good things to think about.
And last but not least: The Secret Garden if she enjoys more feminine story lines. ( I enjoyed the movie, so it is not strictly a "chick" story...)

I agree with Turquoise--"A Wrinkle In Time" by Madeleine L'Engle is wonderful. There are three more books in that series--"A Wind In the Door," "A Swiftly Tilting Planet," and "Many Waters." I would also recommend "The Phantom Tollbooth" by Norton Juster; it's one of those rare books that will reveal more to you every time you read it.

The Giver would be a good choice.
No way a 6th grader, advanced or not, would be able to grasp Sidhartha, let alone enjoy it.

Boston Jane series by Jennifer L. Holm full of adventure and amusement,
a bit on the historical side too.

The Book Thief
I LOVED it. It's a story about WWII from a little German girls point of view. And it's narrated by a sarcastic DEATH. I laughed, I cried. It's the best thing I've read this year!

how about the hobbit. she might like that if shes advanced. you should check out the reading lists that the 7th or 8th graders have, like the ones they get over the summer, and maybe there'll be some good ones on there!
