Book recommendations for a 12-year-old girl?

A new book I loved, and appropriate for a 12=year-old is "Bigger than a Breadbox," by Laurel Snyder. A young girl's parents are going through a divorce, and she ends up with her mother at her grandmother's where she finds a magic breadbox. Good lessons, but very realistic writing. A touching, good story.

Howl's Moving Castle by Dianna Wynne Jones
The Uglies/Pretties/Specials series is pretty decent.
Dealing With Dragons series by Patricia Wrede

My now grown daughter suggested Watership Down. She remembers reading it at age 12. I read it about that age too and loved the story, but it was not until I read it again as an adult that I got the whole political under tones.
The Hobbit would be a good one too.
