When I was 12, I read Tarzan of the Apes, tons of fiction about horses (Black Beauty, Black Stallion, National Velvet, My Friend Flicka). Also read Newbery winners (Holes, Bridge to Terabithia, Sounder, A Wrinkle in Time, etc.), White Fang, short stories by O. Henry and Washington Irving and Nathaniel Hawthorne and Bret Harte.
Yes, ask your friendly reader's service librarian to show you these books and so many others.
