I agree with Racer about "Ender's Game" and it has lots of sequels if you like the first book. Elizabeth Moon also has a cool set of books out -- sci-fi with strong woman protagonist -- but the third in the series is only out in hardcover right now, I think, and I hate recommending trilogies that aren't all available in paperback.
More sci-fi, with a big gender-bending twist: Ursula K. LeGuin's "Left Hand of Darkness". Very cool read, don't know about easy.
If you want some really light, funny children's reads, there are two great titles out of the Japanese "My Body Science" series: "Everyone Poops" and "The Gas We Pass".
