Recommend fun books for my 12 year old sister

She's asking me for something to read, she's apparently one of the smartest in the class but she's pretty poor at reading books. Before I give up I want her to at least experience a few good books that she can understand.

She read Jaqueline Wilson and hated it, she read 24 pages into Across The Universe and didn't understand any of it, I think the dual narrative melted her mind (lol).
I think Hunger Games would be perfect because of how frank the narrative is and the simplicity of the writing, but her friend already told her what happened and she refuses to read it. She's also seen Twilight and Harry Potter.
