what books do you guys think that a girl who is 15 that likes to read historical fiction, fantasy, and mystery read for a over the summer project (Hint: it should be appropriate for my age level, preferably a little above my reading level, and interesting!)

I'd recommend Lois Duncan books. They're paranormal mysteries. You'd especially like Gallows Hill - it deals with a girl moving to a new town and discovering she has a bizarre connection with the Salem Witch Trials.
Here are some other time travel/paranormal mysteries and historical fiction novels you might like:
Dreadful Sorry by Kathryn Reiss
King of Shadows by Susan Cooper
Witch Child by Celia Rees
Girl with a Pearl Earring by Tracy Chevalier
Happy reading. :)

Harry Potter. Start from the beginning and read the whole series this summer. If you report on an entire series, your project will be the bomb. Do it.
