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.

A few suggestions

As a place to start:

Garth Nix: Abhorsen, Sabrael, Lirael.
Scott Westerfeld: Uglies, Pretties, Specials, Extras, Midnighters Trilogy (The Secret Hour, Touching Darkness, Blue Noon), So Yesterday.
Peter Beagle: The Last Unicorn.
John Scalzi: Zoe's Tale.
Fuyumi Ono: Twelve Kingdoms: Sea of Shadow.
Diana Wynne Jones: Howl's Moving Castle, Time of the Ghost (and probably others but those two come to mind immediately).
Harper Lee: To Kill a Mockingbird.
Carolyn Stevermer & Patricia Wrede: Sorcery & Cecilia.

And possibly more for parents of young adults than the young adults themselves:
Rosalind Wiseman: Queen Bees & Wannabes.
Gavin DeBecker: Protecting the Gift.

I second The Last Unicorn. That is definitely a must. Technically, it's an adult novel, but it's often found in the YA section.
