Recommended Reading from Tween Council

Over the past year our Tween Council, a group of about twenty select fourth and fifth graders, have worked very hard to create a book list of recommended readings for Tweens.

This process involved lots of reading (of course!) and lots of discussion about what is deemed appropriate for Tweens to read. We chose books with high lexile reading levels, high interest, and very importantly low content (rated PG).  

We had a blast creating this list, and we hope that it will be a helpful tool for Tweens and their parents. Check out these and other Tween books in the Children's Department at the Library!
