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.

The Devil's Paintbox

by Victoria McKernan

What a great insight into life in the late 1800's west of the Mississippi.  Drought, sickness, accidents, bandits, indians; all manner of ways to die.  Yet, a boy survives.  This is his tale.  Interesting book.  I was on the edge of my seat at times.  Great read!
