Recommended books for 12 year olds

My boy and girl twin 12 year olds have slipped out of the habit of reading at night and I wondered if anyone has any recommendations to get them back in the habit? Looking for fun, enjoyable, easy-read books. To give a bit of a guide, when they were reading regularly my son was into the Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Adventures on Trains series and my daughter liked Dork Diaries and gossipy-type books - I know, so stereotypically boy and girl but they won't even consider reading each other's type of book! Any ideas?
