Miss Smithers by Susan Juby
Alice enters a beauty pageant. The second book in the Alice MacLeod series. My daughter liked this one just as much as the first.
No Time for Goodbye by Linwood Barclay
A fourteen-year-old girl wakes up one morning to find that her entire family has vanished. This book hooked me right from the beginning. If you're looking for something to keep you up at night, this would be an excellent choice.
