Hive mind, I need you.

Two of my fellow mentors have asked about books for seventh graders. The kids are both studying about, and interested in, segregation laws and their repercussions. Both of them are interested in reading more, and both say they hate reading.
Can anyone recommend books appropriate for seventh graders? Books about or from the segregation era -- preferably from the black point of view -- would be especially welcome.
Does anyone think they're too young for To Kill a Mockingbird? Or that it would be bad for other reasons?
I've already suggested my favorite book from seventh grade, A Wrinkle in Time, but other suggestions, particularly with female protagonists who are quiet and studious would be great. I'd also appreciate non-fiction that's appropriate.
