Seconding the Agatha Christie suggestion, and if you like her, Ngaio Marsh (another of the Queens of Crime) was also wonderful.

Mystery - have you read The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin? I read it the first time for a class in 7th grade, it’s amazing and still one of my favorites, even as an adult!

I don’t know if I could name any safe horror, aside of maybe Goosebumps? I read them as a kid and thought they were great. Ohh maybe Roald Dahl? His books are fairly creepy and suspenseful. Oh oh! Have you read the Bunnicula books by James Howe? I don’t recall what age it’s specifically targeted at, it might be slightly young for you but it might not be. I do recall that it was a favorite series though.

Not sure if they’re your taste, but Madeleine L’Engle’s books (the Wrinkle in Time series especially) were another beloved series, plus they even have religious themes (not my thing, but didn’t detract from them for me) so your parents should def be happy with them lol.

Ok so this is a fiction but I LOVE the book The Outsiders. Idk if it would be your thing but it is basically two teenage rival gangs in Tulsa Oklahoma in the 60s, and it is really deeply about people’s humanity, the human desire to be understood and loved, sort of chosen family in a way… idk there’s a lot but it’s super good. Oh and it is also about keeping your love and childlike wonder of the world.
I honestly have NO IDEA if this would be up your alley as it was not mentioned in your favorite types of books, but it’s definitely the kind of book I would never read but then I read it for school and now it is one of my favorite books so IDK.
Ok but LARGE WARNING there is gang violence, some deaths, and some drinking, but none of it is really glorified I would say?
It may or may not break you emotionally though.
Also it was written by a teenager which I think is super cool and it is so good as well.
So I would definitely ask your parents because there’s definitely a chance you wouldn’t be allowed to read it but I don’t know lol, I go to a smaller Christian school and we read it for the curriculum.
Also if you like theatre there’s a really good musical adaptation
But I know this one might be kind of unlikely so I’ll try to think of more recommendations

There are just a few curse words but only like the D word I think if I’m remembering correctly, and there is no spice at all

The Hunger Games and Powerless (my favorite book since j read them)

Powerless does have some language, but I really liked it!

Maybe A good girls guide to murder? It isn’t so aggressive because it is about a case that closed 5 years ago, yet the mystery and plot twist are amazingggg!
