ALL OF KATHERINE PATTERSON BEST EVS! I liked the lesbian "Happy Endings are All Alike", and anything by M.E. Kerr. All of Lois Duncan. Bette Green is good. "Secret Lives" by Berthe Amoss is AMAZING. "Beat the Turtle Drum" by Constance C. Greene. Hell, she can just come over and borrow all my YA shelves. I have like 800 titles. I loved "The Queen of Spells" by Dahlov Ipcar at that age.

I'd also put in a blanket recommendation for anything by M.T. Anderson (especially Thirsty), Scott W's Midnighters series and Cecil Castelluci's Boy Crazy. Oh, and the Holly Black books.
