<div dir="ltr"><div>There is MINOR language and some romance scenes, but nothing overt. The books are a bit grittier, but, as a conservative parent, I allowed my own kiddo to read these books. I would suggest reading them first, before introducing them to a class. If I think of a few more, I will share them.</div><div><br></div>Stalking Jack the Ripper-A little horror, some tense situations, it is more mature, but nothing too overt. <div>Splintered-Modern day Alice In Wonderland-Very high-interest, elegant darkness, skaters, interesting family dynamics to study, learning how to choose your own path, some romance, etc.</div><div>Reawakened series-Egyptian mythology, choosing your own path, tense family situations</div><div>Ella Enchanted--this is actually a fabulous book that is NOTHING like the movie. It has some high-level vocab.</div><div>The Alchemyst by Michael Scott (The Immortal Nicholas Flamel series)--Great book to bring in awesome discussions of history and culture, as well as a good opportunity to expand vocab. </div><div><br></div><div>
