I have to recommend A Wizard of Earthsea for sure.  A great young adult book, maybe a 
little young for her, but not much.  Eddings' Belgariad would be good, and Brooks' The 
Sword of Shannara (though I'd steer clear of the multidinous sequels) would be a good 
choice.

I will disagree with the recommendation of George RR Martin unless your daughter's 
maturity level is well beyond the average 14-year old.  It's more a political intrigue 
thriller than a classic fantasy novel, and it's got a fair amount of adult situations 
as well.

I'll second the recommendation of Watership Down, too.  It was one of my all-time 
favorite books as a kid.

Jim
