O/T -Suggestions for reading for 6th Grade girls?

Hello Ladies!

If any of you have some suggestions for books that you think my SD11 in 6th grade would like I would LOVE them. I also thought other members with girls (sd or bio) might be interested. SD likes to read but doesn't seek out books so I always try to find some to give her for Xmas and birthday instead of a pile of video games! I was thinking about getting her started on Nancy Drew because I know she hasn't read those but I can't really remember what age group those are for. I think it is hers? For anyone else looking for book suggestions, last year I bought SD the "Melanie Martin" books (I think there were four or five of them) and they are kind of like an adventure series and SHE LOVED THEM! I didn't have to "make" her read - she couldn't put them down so I *highly* recommend those. I have also gotten her the American Girl "guide" books like about babysitting, homework, middle school, etc... and she read and liked those (especially the babysitting) so I would recommend those to someone also.

I loved the Little house on the prairie series and The Great Brain series. Can't remember how old I was when I read them though.

The Famous Five
The Adventurous Four
Only thing is that these series are probably in British English.

Books she's probably seen as movies e.g.
Bridge to Terabithia
Because of Winn Dixie
Coraline

And Judy Blume is a Must!

Anne of Green Gables series
The Babysitters Club
Nancy Drew the original and up to date version
Little Women or anything by Louisa May Alcott
My daughter loved all of those at that age.
