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 Invention of Hugo Cabret

by Brian Selznick

This book club selection was one I found intimidating upon check out from the library....it's approximately 1-1/2" thick.  However, upon beginning the book, I found myself completely taken in and had finished the book in under 2 hours.  The pictures tell what words can't and the words give life to the characters and their story.  I won't say much more - we haven't had club yet to discuss this book - I will say that I would HIGHLY recommend this for anyone age 10+.  It was quite the adventure!
