Oh, the tyranny of choices.
I discovered fantasy and science fiction in middle school. Anne McCaffrey's Harper Hall trilogy was my absolute favorite. (I still want to live there some day.) Narnia was another favorite read (and re-read).
Other authors to consider:
Diana Wynn Jones
Mercedes Lackey
Lois McMaster Bujold
Marion Zimmer Bradley
Oh, and don't neglect the "classics". Jane Austen is good if you aren't like me (I can't stand it when people are mortally embarrassed). Try Pride & Prejudice first -- it has a likeable protagonist.
A Web search for "middle school suggested reading" turned up pages and pages of various lists; here's a pretty comprehensive one:

Of all the books I read when I was your age (about 35 years ago)... The one I will always remember is "The Jungle" by Upton Sinclair. It was one of the hottest books out there in my day. (I know times have changed)... But it dealt with the reason behind the formation of the labor unions, AFL/CIO. It described in great detail some of the deplorable conditions American workers endured on a daily basis. It opened my eyes and my mind. And considering the short amount of time it took me to read and the lasting impact it has had on my, I would consider it a very good investment. Keep on reading - you'll never regret it.

I just finished reading these books called Maxium Ride. There are two and hopefully the third will come out soon. They are awesome.
Then there are always among the hidden series. I read that when I was in middle school and it was good.
Ella Enchanted.
Midnighters
Harry Potter
If you like historical fiction, Anne Rinaldi is a good author for that.
Anything by Mary Higgins Clarke is good.
good luck

Try a Robert Cormier book. There are also alot of good "fantasy" series. Try the Ink Triology or The Edge Chronicles.
Gary Paulsen is great also. And so is S.E. Hinton.

properly...to be trustworthy, I on no account enjoyed Dickens, Austen, and you are going to be able to forget approximately with regard to the Bronte sisters. I study each and every of the cool classics, and all the off-beat action books. interior the way of Classics: The fool by using Fydor Dostoevsky. have been given to love a babbling Russian prince who spends time in an asylum. He leaves, comes back to Russia and breaks each and every of the regulations of aristocracy. pass PRINCE MYSHKIN! trap 22 by using Joseph Heller. guy, the dude had themes...yet he might desire to write a hell of a e book. the photograph of Dorian gray by using Oscar Wilde. some say it grew to become into an autobiography... in spite of the case, the terrific character will become a narcissist after a portrait is painted of him. As he does all kinds of undesirable issues, and gets older, the photograph does. no longer him. Then....properly, i'm no longer giving freely the ending. Fiction The Dresden records by using Jim Butcher. He has have been given to be the best author EVER. in a roundabout way he controlled integrate sarcasm with witty character and make the particularly some maximum memorable. His plots are continually methodical with twists you observed coming. The Dresden records starts off with typhoon front and is a chain of (for now) 13. Gotta love Chicago's purely expert wizard...Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden.
