Book Ideas

 I know I’ve shared this list before, but with Christmas shopping season, I thought I’d share it again. 

15 Favorite Tween Books

People are always asking me about books for 10-15 year-old readers. What books do I recommend? So, I've put together a list of books that either I loved as a tween, (and still do love), or books that my nieces love.

 

Now, I have to say, I'm super conservative and picky about books. I don't like books where the kids are brats, and I don't like books that delve into fantasy. So, if you're looking for fantasy or sci-fi, you won't find any on this list.

   

 

1. Sherlock Jones Series, by Ed Dunlop 


2. Peabody Adventures, by Jeri Massi


3. Arby Jenkins, by Sharon Hambrick 


4. The Adventures of Arty Anderson Series, by Mark Redmond


5. The Accidental Detectives, by Sigmund Brouwer


6. The Young Refugee Triology, by Ed Dunlop 


7. Gatlin Fields series, by Sandra Waggoner


8. Freedom Seekers, by Lois Walfrid Johnson 


9. The Northwoods Adventures, by Lois Walfrid Johnson 


10. The Wall Series, by Robert Elmer


11. Adventures Down Under, by Robert Elmer


12. The Jed Cartwright series, by Ed Dunlop


13. The Missionary Adventures of Bob and Arty, by Jeff Barth


14. The Ivan books, by Myrna Grant


15. The Scripture Sleuth, by Mat Halverson


And then, I have a few books that I've written for those ages.


The Mystery in the Corn Maze


The Ty Carson Series


The Adventures of Amy


The PK Detectives 


I hope these books will be a blessing to you and your young readers.
