Also, the chic lit series Clique is appropriate for middle school students and doesn't have the sex and drugs of many other chic lit series for teens.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-1168404978554216892007-01-09T23:56:00.000-05:002007-01-09T23:56:00.000-05:00What a great age range.

If you can get past the title, Sex Kittens and Horn Dawgs Fall in Love by Maryrose Wood is also adorable. Or, for a historical suitable for any age, try Hattie Big Sky by Kirby Larson. There are so many great new books out for this age range, Franki! Hope this helps.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
