Clean Reads discussion

Any clean books for young adults?

Hi Rebekah, I write clean books which are suitable for YA. Time travel romance and historical. If you don't get any other recommendations (and I hope you do) then you might want to take a look at my author page. Anna Faversham

Rebekah, what age? And which authors or genres or elements of books has your young adult enjoyed reading? Adventure? Sci-fi? Romance? Historical American? Historical International? Humor? Fantasy? Steampunk? Modern time period? Military? Teenage protagonists? If you give us some examples we may be able to give you some titles that will match your YA's inclinations.

The Lunar Chronicles series by Marissa Meyer have been good!

Rebekah, if it is for you, looking at your list of the books you liked on Goodreads you might enjoy one of the following:
Ella Enchanted, by Gail Carson Levine
From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, by E.L. Konigsberg
A Long Way from Chicago, by Richard Peck
The Dark is Rising, by Susan Cooper
The Witch of Blackbird Pond, by Elizabeth George Speare
The Scarlet Pimpernel, by Baroness Orczy
Heist Society, by Aly Carter
and, if your library has some, or you have a way to read them online or download them at gutenberg.org, any of Lucy Maud Montgomery's collections of short stories

Hi guys, I'm new here. I've read about 100 or so ARCs over the past year, and unfortunately, from what I've read, the YA market is a desert for clean reading. I do have a couple that are relatively clean. I would rate them between a PG/PG-13.

Finally found a market for clean books; unfortunately, many are not available at local libraries because they are small press or self-pub.
C.J. Brightley has a box called Phoenix Crate and she has a lot of good reviews on her website Noblebright.org.













(TBatN is pretty clean, according to my standards-it's pretty dark and has some violence, though.)

Thanks this is very helpful:)
also welcome!!!

Yes! The Lunar Chronicles were great! Couldn’t put them down!

There are all the Harry Potter books ,of course,then many others----All the hilarious Calvin and Hobbs books by Bill Waterson-
The Complete Calvin and Hobbes]






























Don't forget to use your public library! Except for several that I read thanks to my Kindle Unlimited subscription, these were all obtained from my library, including several that were my library's Kindle editions, and the rest were dead tree editions.
