Rick Riordan books. I’m sure that doesn’t qualify for what you ask but I’m always happy with any reading. He reads enough literature for school so I have no problem with him simply reading for enjoyment. That’s what I like to read too.

No that's totally fine . DD has already read all of them

Ok. I wasn’t sure if you only wanted to hear from upscale literature type books. Land of Stories was a fun series.

My dd got quite a few from the Kellogg’s feeding reading program last fall. I’ve found they usually have good choices. I can’t find the full list but here are a few she enjoyed: Between Shades of Gray, The Sun Is Also a Star, Echo, The Running Dream, Darius the Great is Not Okay, The Alchemist

I love the Feeding Reading program!

I ordered the first two Mr Lemoncello's Library books for my DD, plus 4 others I'd either heard great things about (like A Tale Dark and Grimm by Adam Gidwitz, because she likes his Unicorn Rescue Society series) or had read myself as a kid (Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing remains a favorite; I got her Otherwise Known as Sheila the Great during the summer of 2019.)

Wow, so many! I may have to come back and add later...

But for now:
Hook's Daughter:the untold tale of a pirate princess by R.V.Bowman
Arrows of the Queen by Mercedes Lackey (with sequels if interested)
The Pit Dragon trilogy by Jane Yolen
Alanna: The First Adventure by Tamora Pierce the series is called Song of the Lioness
Green Rider by Kristen Britain (a whole series; seven I think?)
Ruins of Gorlan by John Flanagan (series called Ranger's Apprentice)
I am Number Four by Pittacus Lore (Lorien Legacies)

My DD reads basically anything that involves a kid losing a parent, a friend dying, a sibling dying or middle school drama! Some of it she reads in a day, some take 2. I really don't care what she reads as long as she reads and she enjoys reading.

This describes so many books on my girls' book shelf!

Along those lines... my middle schooler really liked "The Thing About Jellyfish."
"The Hate U Give" was assigned at school and definitely thought provoking.

DD and her friends are all reading the Keeper of the Lost Cities books (for the second or third time.) I tried to read the first one so we could discuss it and there is way too much who-likes-who drama for a story that is supposed to be about around 12 in the first book.
Hunger Games
We both liked the Girl Who Drank the Stars (fantasy)
The Mysterious Benedict Society series

Did you mean The Girl Who Drank the Moon by Kelly Barnhill, which won the 2016 Newbery? I loved that book, too.
