Sex I'm not worried about, since I liked reading about sex at that age and I expect she would, too. Emotional distress, not so much. My hope was that it would give her motivation to read a lot of my favorite SF books, but I'll just read them again myself and ileave them lying around :).
she's read 2, 3 and 5 in your list, and liked them (also Dahl's Matilda). Earthsea was too difficult the first time the she tried it two years ago (also difficult from a language viewpoint) but maybe now's the time.
PS Does one really need The Talk in this time and age? I suggested last year she look up scarleteen.com whenever she has questions. I have also told her already that minors have a right to free gynecological/contraceptive care without parents being involved, she obviously doesn't need it yet which made it easier to talk about it.
