How To Use This Book List

Many of the books here are written for young adults. However, some are definitely adult books. I don't always specify in my comments; however if you are interested in a book, find it at the library. If it's in Juvenile Fiction or Young Adult Fiction, it's usually safe for kids 12-15 (be sure to preview just in case). If the book is found elsewhere, you can always ask a librarian for their input.
Personally, a few swear words don't do much for me, so I don't usually remember they are in there. Other types of content, however, are usually commented on.
Enjoy!!

p.s. Please leave a "care-to-share" (aka, comment) anytime you like.

Uglies

by Scott Westerfeld

Impressive. Young girl excited to become "Pretty" on her 16th birthday finds out about another option...plot twists, unexpected turns, great story! Futuristic earth, makes the reader a little more aware of our wasteful society. Great for a 12+age reader.

Your Heart Belongs to Me

by Dean Koontz


I can't remember the last time I read a book by Dean Koontz...jr. high, maybe? But, I found this one for less than $1 at the library, so I thought I'd give it a go. Ya know, I was expecting graphic love scenes, gore, and murder with explicit details. I got a story of intrigue, suspense, and love...nothing graphic :)

I had forgotten how much I enjoyed a good clean murder mystery (minus the actual murder). I would recommend you try this book if you need a story that will keep your interest and you can share with your 12+ children. Great book! (a few omg's, but I don't recall any other strong language)
