Read all of the Chronicles of Narnia (there are 7 books). They were my favorite books when I was 11 and I ended up naming my daughter after the White Witch! Also, if mysteries are your thing, read anything by Agatha Christie, they'll keep you up for hours!!:)

Harry Potter series.
They're a great collection there are seven.
JK Rowling made BILLIONS on those books, it's the New York Times Bestseller and there are Harry Potter freaks whose whole lives circulate around memorizing every tiny bit and fact and figuring out what happens next. The movies leave out a lot of the book's magic, the books in my opinion are better, while the movie is just eyecandy. Trust that.
They're my favorite books I started reading them at 12 and I'm 17 and I still read them, they're definitely a "young adult"'s choice.
They are really pretty books that come in hardcover for about 30 dollars but if you can't afford them get the paperbacks that range around 8-15 dollars.
Hope this helped you =) Gatta support the favorite books.

"The Snark-Out Boys And The Bacconburg Horror" by Daniel Pinkwater is a riot. I believe it is part of a series, but I am having trouble locating the other titles.
Have you read the Encyclopedia Brown mysteries by Sobel?
"A Night In The Lonesome October" by Roger Zelazny is a good tale and mixes both the horror and mystery elements well.

Read The Hardy Boys series of books by Franklin W. Dixon. Actually, they were written by the same author who wrote the Nancy Drew series for girls (pen-name Carolyn Keene). They are mysteries that are solved by teens. I read all of the Nancy Drew books between the ages of 10 and 15 (about 40 then), and then started reading Hardy Boy books too.

I would have thought you were a little old for Goosebumps. Why dont you try some of the fantasy books like Magyk, Eragon, Dragon Rider and Inkheart. My son is 11 and loved those books.

The Diary of a Young Girl - Anne Frank
Stay away from Harry Potter, go towards the light.
