Ah, tweens, that modern day creation to label those inbetween ages. Too grown up for little chapter books, not quite ready for the teen section. What does a tween read?
One of my favorite go-to sites for book suggestions is a blog by school librarian Stacy Dillon Welcome to My Tweendom. With a wide variety of suggestions and great reviews, this site is perfect for creating a reading list for your tween. Some of the titles reviewed are previews, so they won't be available at the library until later. Of course, if we've ordered a title you can request it at any time.
Check out her site for great book ideas. You might just find something you want to read as well!

I always appreciate finding others who are concerned about helping children become readers.
That's because I grew up as a reluctant reader. And my father was the author of over 70 books. Now I write action-adventure and mystery books especially for tween boys. My blog, Books for boys, http://booksandboys.blogspot.com is # 4 on Google today.
Keep up your good work!

Thanks for the shout out! Keep the tweens reading!
