Did anyone suggest the Inda books by Sherwood Smith, because I think they'd be a good intro to "grownup" fantasy for a youngish girl.

Garth Nix's Abhorsen books would be a good choice IMO,
I forgot about the Abhorsen series. Great suggestion. They just came out as ebooks several months ago.

My point with the Tamora Pierce books isn't so much that she might not enjoy them, but rather other kids might tease her for reading kids books. Kids can be that way. Of course, all you need to do is give her a ebook reader, and no one else will know what she's reading.
