YA girl-friendly fic recs?

[telophase]

I have a friend who works at a feminist bookstore and is trying to build up the juvenile fiction collection. She's looking for recs of girl-friendly interesting fiction for older children.

My mother just bought "The Hunger Games" for one of my little cousins (who is about 10 or 11, I think?), who apparently loved it. And my little cousins seem to have increasingly good taste in literature (this one likes manga, too), so that'd be my suggestion.

Maybe Scott Westerfeld's stuff is a little too old, but it's certainly all good. The Attolia books by Megan Wheelan Turner?

I have a copy of The Hunger Games, but I'm only about 50 pages into it. I'll get a few on order.

I'll be checking out the other authors, too. Many thanks :)
