Teen-Friendly Books that Parents Can Love
April 14th, 2006 by Sue Blaney
Have you heard of the Beacon Street Girls? Five contemporary 7th grade girls in Brookline, MA are featured in this hip but realistic series of books written for young teenage girls. Multi-cultural, with real - not perfect - familes, bodies, friends and challenges face life together and make reading about them fun. Girls love them, and they are gaining popularity fast.
Parents like that their young daughters are reading about likeable characters involved in realistic - and healthy- activites, bypassing the popular teen-trash-literature that makes parents cringe. Even librarians like them and are putting them on the “recommended” list.
Sounds like a win-win to me. Bravo to the Beacon Street Girls! :>
