Suggestions for precocious teen reader

My daughter is 14. She reads at a college level, but she is 14. Her interests are the same as any typical 14 year old. They like to read teen horror novels, fantasy, etc. Often times, the content in higher level books is a bit mature for students of this age, especially to qualify for AR (Accelerated Reader). I'd like to let her read what interests her, but AR has reading level requirements are usually above her ZPD (zone of proximal development) range of 6.0+.
Any book suggestions? Anything your kids are reading?

If you're wanting to "stretch" her reading without subjecting her to too mature of content, I'd start giving her some classics. She might not "love" the books in the same way she's going to like the YA stuff that she's currently likely reading, but she'll develop stronger comprehension skills, vocabulary, and ability to wade through more difficult texts.
Some thoughs:
Watership Down
The Giver
Wrinkle in Time
Ender's Game
Brave New World
Frankenstine
Time Machine
Dracula
Lord of the Flies
Huck Finn
Call of the Wild
Treasure Island
Gulliver's Travels
Sword in the Stone
Three Musketeers
Swiss Family Robinson
The Outsiders
Little Women
Oliver Twist
The Secret Garden

For those with teens interested in literature, you can’t go wrong with these to get them started on a lifelong love of literature
1) a voyage to Arcturus
2) finnegans wake
3) the sound and the fury
4) Ulysses

What about Hunger Games, the Matched Series, maybe the Maze Runner Series.
The Giver also has sequels.
John Green books for romance - but some have sex in them.
I really liked The Name of the Star by Maureen Johnson.
And there are the classics - Anna Kareninna, Little Women, Catcher in the Rye, Tuck Everlasting, etc

The 5 people you meet in heaven would be great for her
I read that around her age . But good on her for reading as a teenager when a large majority of her peers do not
( I’m 34 and my dad gives me shite all the time for going to the library and checking out boots.. like why would I want to enrich my brain and broaden my horizons) so at least you’re supportive in your girls interests
