Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer, my whole school is reading the Twilight Saga and we've all fallen in love. It's about a girl who meets a vampire who lusts for her blood and I'm really bad at summarizing but it's an amazing book that I would recommend to any female no matter what they're like. A bunch of people, I bet, are gonna say this book. It is a lot of fantasy but I really bet you'll love them (and if it's no fantasy because that's the assignment for school, then read one of the other books for school and come back to this one, you won't regret it.)
All-American Girl by Meg Cabot.
Samantha Madison has a beautiful sister, a genius little sister, and is in love with her big sisters boyfriend. She's also an outcast of her high school. She saves the presidents life and... then what happens?
This is a quick-ish read but it doesn't look that way from the outside. It's a book I've loved since the first time a read it and I've read it 4 times since. (Not as much as the Twilight series, mind you, but still)
There's also the sequel called Ready Or Not, which I like better than the first xD
Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow by Orson Scott Card. Ender's Game was my favorite book before I found Twilight. It's about this kid Ender who is really strong and really smart. They've been waiting for somebody like him to become the head honcho and lead in a war against the buggers, an "alien" species from outer space that earth has been at war with. Again, I suck at summarizing but my brother got me to read this book and I loved it. I mean the kid got sent to training school when he was 6 YEARS OLD!!!!! Ender's Shadow is a parallex book to Ender's Game, seen from Bean's eyes. Both books are hilarious with a little rude language, but that's forgivable. If you want a little insight on the book, I found this on youtube a while ago, http://youtube.com/watch?v=dV6hI0TzwAY
A few others are Firegirl by Tony Abbott
Vampire Kisses by Ellen Schreiber (Kinda fantasy but still good)
Uglies by Scott W.
Down A Dark Hall by Lois Duncan (read this over the summer, really good)
Twelfth Night and The Tempest by Shakespeare (reading classics is impressive to most teachers)
I Am America and So Can You! by Stephen Colbert (hilarious input on politics and whatever else he can think of by my main man Colbert! I literally LOL'd while reading this!)
Speak by ??? (Read it in grade 7 and <3'd it)

It would help if you gave your interests, but here goes:
http://www.ala.org/ala/alsc/awardsscholarships/literaryawds/newberymedal/newberyhonors/newberymedal.htm
In my experience, these are absolutely excellent. "Dr. Doolittle" books are free online. "Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH" is *great* (I just read it in the past year - and I'm 45).
http://www.interleaves.org/~rteeter/grtother.html#great . Lots of lists, but I especially like the Harvard Classics list - all the books that I should have read, but (mostly) never did.
Finally, these: http://www.awardannals.com/wiki/Honor_roll:Genres - pick your genre, find the best books ranked by how many awards they've won.
I hope this helps.
