Read the Sally Lockharts! I read them when I was thirteen, and it was the first series I'd read where characters whom I'd actually loved died in ways that were realistic - not symbolic or for the development of a main character - and that was a revelation. I will admit that the fourth book (The Tin Princess, in which Sally is an incidental character rather than the protagonist) is my favorite, but the whole thing is worth your time.
