Not a vampire in sight, but how about the Betsy-Tacy books, especially the high school books (#5-8).

If she likes mysteries, Peter Abrahams's three Echo Falls mysteries are fun, with a 13-year old heroine.
I suggest adding a lot of public domain classics--Dracula, since she likes vampires; and titles like Little Women, Secret Garden, Black Beauty, Anne of Green Gables, etc. Check out the Children's Bookshelf at Project Gutenberg.
