Ten Books Tweens Need

These books are perfect for kids in those in-between, or tween, years. Not quite kids but not yet teenagers either, it can be difficult to find books 11 to 14 yr olds want to read that parents don’t think are inappropriate. Hopefully these titles will bridge the gap and keep everyone happy!
