I know that you have your favourite, I have also mine.
One of my favourite books when I was your age was Pappa Pellerins Dotter.
Of Course I read it in Spanish, I was only 12, but since that moment onwards I can't remember myself without a book nearby.
It tells the story of a girl, Loella, who everyone calls 'Loopy Loella',she is a strange child, basically bringing herself up in the woods, with two brothers to look after solely by herself. An old scarecrow is all she has to protect her, and 'scarepeople' away. She is wild and yet very capable, but when she is sent to a Home, she is bewildered with the town, not understanding how to live. It was all so different from the woods. She imagines a lot about her father, and creates many false illusions and dreams. In these dreams she heroically save her father from drowning, or burning to death, or from dying in a terrible car accident. When she finally gets back to the life in the woods that she knows, and meets...well, guess who?
