How about a three-book set of Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants / Second Summer of the Sisterhood / Girls in Pants (Paperback) aobut $18
Also, "I know Why the Caged Bird Sings" if the first of a 5-book series that might be good, if she likes the first she can get the rest as the year goes on. It's an autobiography story about a poet author and is historically eye opening.
The Life of Bees is good, but short
Just a few ideas

Little women by Lousie May Alcott(not 100% sure the spelling). About 4 sister growing up in hard times. Another good one is To Kill a Mockingbird but that can be rather to mature for some parents tastes. As it includes words rape and a few others.

It depends on what she's interested in. When I was about that age, I developed an interest in fantasy. Avoid Harry Potter, as that series is mysogynisitic, andocentric and sexist (women are portrayed as helpless secondary characters while men make all the real decisions).
I would recommend anything by Robyn McKinley, Tamora Pierce, the Dealing with Dragons series by Patricia C. Wrede, or Mercedes Lackey's Valdemar series.

King Fortis the Brave! It is a story about a pair of twins that are pulled into a magical world where they find themselves caught up in a battle for control of the land. It's full of action, humor and adventure and my students absolutely love it.

The Uglies trilogy is popular with almost everyone who reads it: http://www.amazon.com/Uglies-Trilogy-Book-1/dp/0689865384/sr=8-1/qid=1166899992/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/105-6993932-6751628?ie=UTF8&s=books
So is Twilight, a vampire romance book: http://www.amazon.com/Twilight-Stephenie-Meyer/dp/0316160172/sr=1-1/qid=1166900033/ref=pd_bbs_1/105-6993932-6751628?ie=UTF8&s=books
A Great and Terrible Beauty is a girl in Victorian England, it is appropriate despite the cover: http://www.amazon.com/Great-Terrible-Beauty-Libba-Bray/dp/0385730284/sr=1-1/qid=1166900099/ref=pd_bbs_1/105-6993932-6751628?ie=UTF8&s=books
Many teens like Meg Cabot, she's like the modern Judy Blume. Understands our brains, or something, I guess, according to most of her fans. So anything by her.
So basically, depends on her interests. Maybe ask the people at the store?
