Clean Young Adult Books (59 books)

This list was created because much of the new Adult and Young Adult novels coming out are not appropriate for all ages. Many readers want to read books with less sexuality and bad language.
You can follow me to see if a book is G, PG,PG-13, or R Rating.

I have created a simple review to help you gage the level of appropriateness for readers. I hope it helps you and your family. Please do not add to the list.
