Maureen  Vercruysse I’m a huge fantasy reader and i loved the entire Mortal Instruments universe by Cassandra Clare. I remember it as being very clean. The only questionable part, maybe, i think doesnt arrive until the story line moves in to the second generation. Consult the author’s website for the reading order

Andrea Engle Dearheart, I suddenly realized two of my recommendations were not squeaky clean.. Here are my guidelines:
1. Any book written before 1914 and World War I is guaranteed to be clean.
2. Any book written before 1960 is guaranteed to use relationships and violence discreetly.
3. Any book written after 1960 may have graphic sex and/or violence.

Here are some replacement choices:
For Ray Bradbury’s “Fahrenheit 451,” his masterpiece, substitute “Something Wicked This Way Comes”
For George Orwell’s “1984,” his masterpiece, substitute “ Animal Farm”
Regards,
Andrea

Rosedall Tysm!!!

Myar Joyia I’d definitely add a few more clean YA and fantasy books to the list. I think it’s especially helpful when readers mention content warnings, because what counts as “clean” can be different for everyone.

There are so many great books for younger readers, and checking the content beforehand makes it much easier to find something that matches your preferences.

For those who enjoy casual gaming as well, you can check out

Andrea Engle Another Clean, Christian Recommendation: I recently finished the four-book series, STARLIGHT ANIMAL RESCUE by Dandi Daley Mackall. It has horses, dogs, and cats and their respective care-takers.

Regards,
Andrea

Hunter H. Treasures of the Lochs
This is suspenseful YA Christian fiction, involving a modern-day treasure hunt in Scotland, with a bit of supernatural thrown in. Blending historical fact and Scottish legend within an action-packed adventure, Treasures of the Lochs is a powerful story of faith, friendship, and redemption. The target audience is teenage and above (some parts would be too intense for younger readers). This book is a 2024 NIEA Finalist in Religion Fiction. It also hit Amazon#1 New Release for Christian Fantasy. I hope you’ll check it out.


message 13: by Rosedall (new)

Rosedall Thank you Hunter for the rec! It actually sounds really good! I added it to my tbr :)


message 14: by Aleah (new)

Aleah Saxer “You!” “Beautifully Ours” which is a friends to lovers rom com

My Summer Rivalry which is an enemy’s to lovers rom com
There all clean and wholesome my fav is My Summer Rivalry
(I am the author of all these books but I swear Im not biased)

Percy Jackson’s also really good


message 15: by Rosedall (new)

Rosedall Tysm for the rec!


message 16: by Katherine J. (new)

Katherine J. Have to say the Naturals by Jennifer Lynn Barnes!! Such a great series!!!


message 17: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Engle Another almost clean read: If you don’t mind bad language, and some inner-city violence, “Theo of Golden” by Allen Levi is phenominal! I was in tears by the ending … and I never cry.

Andrea

Lily Rousell The Selection


message 19: by Rosedall (new)

Rosedall I LOVED the naturals!!


message 20: by Alessia (new)

Alessia I really enjoyed the wrath & the dawn, if I recall correctly is clean, should have some fade to black scenes


message 21: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Engle May I also recommend: Alys Clare’s romantic adventure, “Out of the Dawn Light,” the first volume in her Aelf Fen series. It does have some rather adult relationships, but it’s essentially a clean set of books.

Andrea

message 22: by Em✨ (new)

Em✨ Hi!!!! If you don't mind language and a teeny bit of violence, then I wholeheartedly recommend The inheritance games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes (as a younger teen myself it's one of my favs) there's the OG trilogy, (The Inheritance games, The Hawthorn Legacy, The final gambit), then a book that comes after that(The brothers Hawthorn), after that you can read Games untold and the same as backwards and forwards (but be careful cos one of the short stories in games untold will spoil the next book so check the timeline), and after all that there's The Grandest Game trilogy (The Grandest Game, Glorious rivals, Gilded Blade).. It's a mystery with a romance side plot and the writing is rlly clever


message 23: by Rosedall (new)

Rosedall Yeah I read the og trilogy and LOVED it


message 24: by Judy (new)

Judy Lyn Gregg I recommend my novel DOPPELGÄNGER JUMPER. It is a YA fantasy and is clean. It was just announced as a finalist in the YA category for the Silver Falchion Award at the Killer Nashville book Conference. Give it a try.


message 25: by Rosedall (new)

Rosedall That sounds really cool!!


message 26: by K. D. (new)

K. D. Capener Lavender by Christina King, Through Quick and Quinn by Erica M. Sherlock, Hidden by These Walls by K. D. Capener and Wings of Wren by Alexis Player. Oh, also The City of Shadow and Light by Catherine Argueta


message 27: by Kasi (new)

Kasi Blake Wolf Pact: Fated mates, touch her and die, small town pack werewolf romance

This is a clean YA werewolf romance. No spice, but all the feels. Only one or two instances of mild language.

Lexie comes to town to find her grandmother, but soon discovers she is the future alpha's soulmate. In this world, soulmates are the kiss of death to a guy's wolf. Literally. They can't be together. In fact, he's supposed to kill her as soon as he meets her.


message 28: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Engle Aaaarrrrggghhhh! How can anyone think that YA is for sissies? I don’t know about such a thing as “Violence Quotient” … but “Wolf Pact” would definitely register on its Richter scale. I think I’ll stick with Rudyard Kipling’s “Jungle Book” or, perhaps, Robert Louis Stevenson’s “Treasure Island.”
Regards,
Andrea

message 29: by Kathryn (new)

Kathryn Carter Hi there! Lot of great recommendations here already. Wanted to shamelessly plug my own book, Deviants: Ignite. Give it a peek if you like Harry Potter, X-Men, and Avatar: The Last Airbender. ;) https://a.co/d/0iApbqGZ

Additionally, when I was your age, I super loved the Inheritence Cycle by Christopher Paolini. Dragons!
