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.

Walk Two Moons

by Sharon Creech

I read this book a few years ago for a Children's Literature class.  It's targeted for 3-6th grade.  I had completely forgotten the story line, but I did remember that I absolutely loved it!  The second time around, was no disappointment.  I laughed out loud (during my daughter's gymnastics class), pondered my own reactions, and even cried.  A great story about a young girl, Sal, who is dealing with changes in her family and herself.  Well written, clean, funny, appropriate, and heart-felt - this is a book everyone should read.  Deals with divorce, death, moving, friends, family, and everything in between!
