Good Books for Precocious Readers

Pretty sure a lot of the readers on this website were kids reading books that looked "too hard" or "too old" for us. Here's a list of a dozen books that give that impression (either because of their length or because they're usually marketed to teens or adults) that remain, content-wise, perfectly fine for younger readers who want to push their limits.
