Legend

The books on this list are either Strongly Recommended (marked with star), Recommended (no icon), or a Personal Favorite (marked with heart). The last are books that may not appeal to everyone, don't enjoy the same reputation as recommended books, and may not even be great literature—but I have a soft spot for them all the same. You have some books like this too, I'm sure.

Suggested age level is either Grade school, Preteen, or Teenager. Obviously, it really depends on the child's reading level more than age. If your browser supports ToolTips, mouse over a [Note] to see the comment; otherwise, click the [Note] to pop up the comment in a new window.
