She reads a lot and has started to look for more "grown up" books recently. She is quite mature for her age and has started to stray into the "adult fiction" section of our local library recently and I'd like to steer her away from there for a bit longer whilst trying to find some new stuff that would ebgage and interest her...

Thank you, never heard of any of those so that's fab. I fancy the sound of some of them myself!
I havd recently read "All the truth that's in me", is that classified as YA? I feel that I can't really trust my own judgement when it comes to books for her because as soon as there is a hint of sex or violence in them I immediately discount them. Silly I know!

For some reason I end up reading & enjoying a lot of teen fiction, like
Pigtopia
My sister lives in a jar on the mantlepiece
The Highest Tide (Jim Lynch)

There was something I was eyeing up for 14yo DD the other day but decided to hold off.. Not Animal Farm, Streetcat named Bob, maybe?

Try the Curse Worker series by Holly Black. It's like Harry Potter meets the Godfather.
