Yep...the obsession continues...some may think I've fallen off the deep end. That's okay! I do readily admit to being obsessed with making these reading lists as complete as possible. For some reason, bringing home "twaddle" from the library just sets me on edge. I truly want my girls to fall in love with reading - but not just Dora books or other culturally popular iconic books. My hope is that they will fall in love with Ramona Quimby, or Mr. Popper, or Paddington - characters found on the pages in these books.
The Fine Print - we haven't read every book on this list, so I cannot completely guarantee the content to be appropriate for everyone. Also, the books in this list are ones I've found to be available at my hometown library or can be accessed through Interlibrary Loan. You'll notice an asterisk (*) by a few of the books. These *'s indicate questionable content found by a fellow bibliophile...my 12-y/o friend, Chloe. She graciously agreed to let me know if there was anything I should pass along to others who may be using this list. If you scroll down to the bottom of the list, you'll find Chloe's comments. Many thanks to you, Miss Chloe!

The road to home by Mary Jane Auch (Makes mention of a girl starting her period, also has a father who doesn't pay much attention to them)
The indian in the cupboard by Lynne Reid Banks (Was an excellent book, but has a lot of taking the Lord's name in vain. We actually own that book, so my Mom simply crossed out all of the instances where they took the Lord's name in vain)
Peter and the Star Catchers by Dave Barry (Was a really good book, but has some ugly pirate descriptions, scary scenes and pictures. The 4th one and possibly the 2nd were the worst)
Julie of the Wolves by Jean Craighead George (This has a scene where the man that Julie is supposed to marry (though she doesn't want to marry him) tackles Julie and kisses her, because the other fellows said he couldn't)
The voyages of Dr. Doolittle by Hugh Lofting (This story mentions evolution)
Journey by Patrica MacLachlan (In this book the mother leaves the children)
|
Crash by Jerry Spinelli (This book was interesting. First person stories-especially when it's a boy telling the story- are usually not the best. It just had a teenegar who was struggling with his life. There was also a scene where he was acting weird with another girl. The book was okay, but not the best)
The Thirteen clocks by James Thurber (This had a lot of talk about "killing people" and their blood. It was a cute plot, and wasn't really descriptive, but had some stuff like that in it)
