I love this thread... some of these books that everyone else listed, I'd forgotten about!
A couple more: When I was in early junior high, I was all over the Song of the Lioness series by Tamora Pierce (about a girl who disguises herself as a boy to become a knight), and the Enchanted Forest Chronicles by Patrica C. Wrede, which is about a very unconventional princess who goes to live with the dragons instead of getting married off for the good of the kingdom. I still reread both series about once a year or so (what's nice about rereading YA books is that I can get through four or five books in just a couple days.)
Oh, and I think I read every Christopher Pike book in eighth grade.
