Clean Reads -- Kids

Looking for something clean for the youngsters in your life to read? Try one of these!  All of these books are clean. No "adult" content, no gory violence, and little or no bad language. If a book has a mild amount of bad or questionable language, but is otherwise clean, I have marked it with an asterisk.

These are the clean fiction books that I would classify as Junior Fiction and Middle Grade fiction.  For my list of clean reads for teens/young adults, click here.  For my list of clean reads for adults, click here.  

Obviously, many of those books would be of interest to teens as well.  And some adults (like me) will enjoy these!

All of these titles are linked to my own reviews, where you can find more information about the story, content, etc.
