[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 183581, member: 831"] A really good series of books that have also been recently made into a movie is: [U]The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants[/U] by Ann Brashares Girls are the main characters and it's contemporary. It has some romance, but in a innocent way. However, the focus is more on the relationships between the four female characters. All the teens, and parents, that have read these, love them. I do read teen novels because there is a lot of really good stuff out there. However, I do tend to go for more serious, edgy stuff. However, I did read this series-[U]The Uglies[/U] by: Scott Westerfeld and Rodrigo Corral. It set in the future when everyone at the age of 16 gets transformed by surgery to become a "pretty". In fact, that is the name of the second book: [U]The Pretties[/U]. There's a third book called: [U]The Specials[/U] The romance is very light in the book with nothing explicit at all. There's mostly crushes. It explores the idea of segregation (uglies and pretties live separately and may not mingle), what is beauty, and living in a society where your future is already decided. Plus, the heroine is a strong and smart female. It may not be right for KT now, but a few years, it's an option. Amazon also has some lists on teen romance made by readers. Also, another suggestion, call your local middle school, and high school, librarians. They are a really good resource for suggestions. That is their specialty and it doesn't matter if KT isn't a student there. Just explain what you are looking for. [/QUOTE]
