Can you tell me of books that are for preteens or 9-12 literature?
It shouldn't have much of deep vocabulary

I believe that part of a child's learning curve is stretching their minds, besides entertaining them. A book which does this and has moral messages built in. Smoking and talking to strangers in Visitors by Bob Chapman

Books by Tamora Pierce and Bruce Coville are good.
Some other great books are:
-Stargirl
-Holes
-Bridge to Terabithia
-Eragon (this is slightly longer than the others)
-Artemis Fowl Series
-Hatchet
Those are the only ones I can find right now. Enjoy!

I like the Series of Unfortunate Results books. Other good choices would be Whales on Stilts by M. T. Anderson. and anything by Bruce Coville.

Charlotte's Web, The Phantom Tollbooth, and Harriet the Spy will make a great start--all genuine lit and easy to get into...

For Girl or Boy?
Judy Blume put out a lot of great books that helped me through my adolescence when I was a kid. Those are more for girls though. For boys, Harry Potter, C.S. Lewis books (Lion Witch and Wardrobe) are perfect...
and my all time favorite book growing up?
Bridge to Teribithia. Don't know who wrote it, but I do know that they're making a movie out of it.

the giver is a really good book. i liked these books about Roman times, i think they were called the Roman Mysteries or something. If you like mystery And then there were none is a good book.
