"Wait Till Helen Comes" by Mary Downing Hahn was my favorite book growing up. It's a scary book, but not cheesy. Very well written and addictive. My teacher read it to our class, and it won book awards and stuff. I think you'll like it.
****Addition:
Also, when you look this book up, it says ages 4-7. I read it to my mom when I was 14 and she LOVED IT. She was just as intrigued as I was. So it's not just a kid's book.

Some classics: (some might be difficult)
Tales from Avonlea (Anne of Green Gables series)
Little Women.
Island of the Blue Dolphins.
The Count of Monte Cristo.
Diary of Anne Frank.
The Hobbit.
Where the Red Fern Grows.
The Scarlet Letter.
Pride and Prejudice.
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
The Red Badge of Courage.
If these are a little too difficult then start with the Harry Potter series. The more you read the easier it will become.
If you want something more contemporary then read:
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.
Ender's Game.
Who ever gave me a thumbs down must not know classic literature.

The Elizabeth series, by Francine Pascal it is a little scandalous, like an affair that is in her head, but nothing too serious.
Also: It's a Matter of Trust I don't know the author off the top of my head.
Chocolate for a Teen's Soul by Kay Allenbaugh
Chocolate for a Teen's Spirit by Kay Allenbaugh
And if you could take the sadness A child Called "it", the lost boy, A Man named Dave, a privilege of youth, and help yourself; all by Dave pelzer they get less sad the further you read, because he is away from his "mother" if you want to call he that.
Stargirl don't know the author.
Fear Street Series by RLstine

I read The Bridge To Terebithia at around that age and loved it. I also read Clan Of The Cave Bear around then. You're at a good age to try Jane Austen if you like classics: try Pride & Prejudice or Sense & Sensibility.
Lately I've been reading a lot of Scott Westerfeld. His trilogy Uglies / Pretties / Specials is excellent!

ROSWELL HIGH: Not dirty. About 6 teens (high schoolers, though). 3 of them are aliens. they're trying to keep themselves a secret from a orginization that wants to capture them and to a ton of test on them and never let them go and probaly eventualy kill them. There's 10 books. My friend and I LOVE them!
REPLICA: Not dirty. About a girl who, overnight, can see for miles, do amazing stuff in gymnastics, hear for miles, and is very strong. Actualy, she can do everything a regular human do, but to the maximum. She's a clone. She has to keep herself a secret from the orginization that created her. The orginization wants to create a Superior Race of humans to take over the world. She also wants to find the other 10 clones.

The Color Purple by Alice Walker. I'm 25 and I first read that book around about your age, I have revisited it so many times since then, it's a wonderful book about so many important feminine issues.
