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 Virgin Queen's Daughter

by Ella March Chase

So...! I was more excited to read about life as a courtier in England during the Renaissance than the other stuff. As I got into, oh chapter 2, I was hooked! What a great tale of life during the reign of Elizabeth I (Tudor family). She was one tough cookie. This story is one of fiction, but based on speculation and rumors that have lasted through the years. The context and main characters (Elizabeth I, etc) are real and many instances did actually happen. The author's notes at the end clarify any misconceptions as well. What a fun book and great way to better understand life in England in the mid 1500's.
