Okay, so I just got on Napster and nothing is being filtered out. Also...that isn't Pig Latin that Aimster is using. It would have the first letter of every two-or-more syabillic (is that even a word?) word at the end followed by "ay." All Aimster is doing is moving a letter to the left. How hard would it be for Napster (or whomever is actually doing the filtering) to simply add those to the filtered list. Sure, it will work for a while, but not forever.
I'd suggest some sci/fi like Greg Bear, Asimov, RAH, Kim Stanley Robinson, and a dash of fantasy from Terry Brooks. Greg Bear- Moving Mars,/(Slant), The Forge of God, Anvil of Stars Asimov- anything dealing with robots, I believe Gold was his last collection of sci/fi short stories, Foundation also, Magic is a collection of fantasy RAH- I've only read Stranger in a Strange Land, but I loved it, might not be appropiate for a 13 y/o though Robinson's Red Mars trilogy is a rather dry read, but it does offer insight towards are society in the future Terry Brooks has a wonderful collection of fantasy starting with the Sword of Shannara. I believe there were 8 books in that series. Last was released a few years ago.

Is it just me or did Corel's site for Linux go down? /. strikes again.
