Tolkien's books can be a good read at your age.I read them when I was the same age as you are.

J.R.R Tolkein series are good if you like reading long chapters about fighting. The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkein is the best of the series. The books in the Redwall series are very good. Ark Angel by Anthony Horowitz is also a very good book, but you should start with the first one of the series, Stormbreaker. That series is a very fast read. They are about a fourteen year old spy and they are very enjoyable and have lots of action.

Tolkien is a good series, but not exactly a quick read. If you want something shorter that's still enjoyable I'd read Cold Sassy Tree. I loved that one and you'll probably get through it pretty quickly because you'll make yourself read faster because you want to find out what's going to happen : )

You should forget the JRTolkien books unless youre in it for the long haul. The "series" is the Lord of the Ring series - imagine how long that will take!
One of my favorite books of all time is on your list: (to wit) "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" For a girl your age, I think it will be perfect. Its about a girl your age growing up in an impoverished family in Brooklyn in the 20's. See the movie AFTER youve read the book.
Good luck

The Tolkien Series is a must read! It does get a little detailed, but is is an ABSOLUTE must read for everyone! (Even 13-year Olds!)

The Tolkien series when you want something " you can read quickly ?" Spock must be dreaming !
You'd better start with a set of short stories first .

Quickly you say? I'd pick either Cold Sassy Tree or A Tree Grows in Brooklyn.
However, don't shortchange yourself. You have an awesome list there, and you should try to read everything on it (and more!).

Tolkien's the best, but not a quick read. I like Shusterman, but haven't read any of the ones above -- I love his trilogy "Scorpion Shards", "Thief of Souls", & "Shattered Sky". Also, his "Mind--" collections are good -- "MindStorms", "Mindtwisters", "MindBenders", & "MindQuakes".
Have fun!
