Novels for younger teens: Suspenseful book that's mysterious but not a thriller

[Fin]

I am looking for a book that no one can call boring, but that still isn't too gory or horrifying. Something that keeps you guessing and makes you want to keep reading. Possibly with characters trapped or insane.

Male or female protagonist

Thanks!

Thanks! I've read Tuck Everlasting, but I'll be sure to check out the Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making. (An intriguing title)

The Face on the Milk Carton by Cooney and The Twisted Window by Duncan, both published I think in the 1980's, maybe 90's, might be worth looking into. If you want a classic, Treasure Island might be a good one. It's suspenseful.
