Just lately, a parent brought back our Princess Diaries series and pointed out tons of sexual references, language, etc. Yikes! After thinking about this, I've realized my collection is weak on romance/girly books for the older girls because I intentionally avoid purchasing books that end up "inappropriate." Meanwhile, I feel my little vampires and Juliets aren't finding books they enjoy. I'd love to collect a list of 8th grade girly books (romances, gothic, mystery/romance, realistic, etc.) that will fulfill that need but also are completely fine for a 6th grade reader. For instance, I'd love to find more authors like Janette Rallison (romantic, quality characters, and morals without being overly moralistic) or the Bluford series.
