The Once and Future King was my favorite book around that age. And how about Ursula LeGuin's Earthsea Trilogy?
That's such a fantastic gift request from a girl that age! Sounds like you have a great niece.

I suppose they're a little dated at this point, but I loved Katherine Patterson's books as a teen. Jacob Have I Loved is still one of my favorites. I loved all of Madeleine L'Engle's, too. She has a number of good books in addition to the Wrinkle in Time series.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
