I need recommendations again - books for an 11 year old who is reading above her age

Dd1 has just been to the library this morning but was a bit disappointed by what was on offer - we have a very small teenage section! She enjoys Malorie Blackman and Meg Rosoff, has read the Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime. She is not really into Alex Rider or LOTR and has outgrown Jacqueline Wilson and Harry Potter.

Any suggestions of what we can order in would be most welcome!

Has she read The Tulip Touch by ANne Fine? It's great. Really haunting. Lots to get your teeth into but still a very manageable, enjoyable read.

Flour Babies by Anne Fine is a challenging book in terms of the language. My whole group of very capable 10 yr olds found it too hard but maybe your dd could browse through it in a book shop and see what she thinks.
