      • These lists are from https://teachbesideme.com/best-books-tween-girls/

        and https://teachbesideme.com/books-tween-boys/

        We have many of these titles in our class library.

        I am removing the 'for boys' and 'for girls' headings from my copied list, because all of the books can be of interest to boys and girls :)
