Note: Lists are arranged with Title, Author, Reading Level, Age Appropriate Level, and Descriptive Tags.
(Age appropriate level denotes the youngest readers that the book is appropriate for. That doesn't mean that older readers will not enjoy the book!)
* = books that I thought were GREAT
UG = upper grades (contain sex, drugs, and/or very graphic violence; deal with mature subject matter such as rape, prostitution, child abuse, etc. )
MG+ = junior high (may contain some profanity or sexual references; may deal with subject matter too mature for younger audiences)
MG = 4th through 6th grades (nothing inappropriate for children, but may not keep the interest of younger readers)
MG- = all ages (perfect for bedtime stories or read-alouds, or for precocious readers in the lower grades)
* = LGBTQ themes - characters, situations, or references to same-sex couples
Books included in this list are all ones that I have read myself and given a rating of at least 3 out of 5 Stars (why would I recommend anything less?) When a book is part of a series, only the first title is listed, but the reading level for all books in the series is shown. Lists will be updated periodically as I read new books.
