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.

Al Capone Does My Shirts

by Gennifer Choldenko

Having been to Alcatraz (just a tour, not a stay), I am interested in reading more about it.  This story is of a boy who has just moved to the Rock and is trying to adjust.  His family doesn't make the transition any easier.  Set in 1935, I was intrigued.  Great for age 10 up to adults.  Quick read, entertaining!
