The inheritance games series? I think they’re fairly clean - very addictive. My son’s currently reading Thieve’s Gambit and loving it. Slightly younger vibe but I know lots of people love the Lottie Brooks books too…

Does it have to be light and fun, or would dark and introspective be okay?

sarahcrossan.bsky.social•36 days ago

She loves Twilight but also Geek Girl series. So anything on the younger teen end!

Kate Mallinder writes very clean teen. And my book Splinters is an identity thriller with a smidge of potential romance, for 12+.

I really enjoyed Ciara Smyth's 'Not My Problem'.

Steady for This by Nathanael Lessore - funny, playful, real and charming

rburrows.bsky.social•36 days ago

That’s what I was going to suggest. Absolute winner!

Tamsin Winter? Or Laura Wood? Her historical novels are delightful. The protagonists are older teens but the content is very wholesome.

Lark, Pike, Brock and Rook by Anthony McGowan

The Twelve by Liz Hyder - atmospheric fantasy with plenty of adventure

Can I sneak in and ask what the difference is in age? I thought YA was teen? Like 14 and up?

sarahcrossan.bsky.social•36 days ago

I think teen is 12+ ? YA feels more hard hitting/sexier!

Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson

A great book, but as it deals with sexual assault, it doesn’t sound like that’s what Sarah’s looking for.

Friendship Never Ends by Alexandra Sheppard 💕

tracyshopkins.bsky.social•36 days ago

Yes! Great suggestion.

My One Dollar Horse trilogy is clean teen!

‘Murder most Unladylike’ are quite popular!

I recently read both of the novels that Clare Vanderpool has written - “Moon Over Manifest” and “Navigating Early”. Loved both.

tracyshopkins.bsky.social•36 days ago

They’ve been around a little while, but Ally Carter’s Gallagher Girls series would be a good choice.

tracyshopkins.bsky.social•36 days ago

@lucythereader.bsky.social Paper & Hearts Society books would fit the bill! Or Katie Clapham’s Three Girls. Or Geek Girl of course. I’m sure there are more, I’ll keep thinking…
