You'll find a graphic novel about women's basketball in the 1970s, a verse novel set in Ghana, a story about the Ukrainian Holodomor, and a story set against the background of Loving vs. Virginia.

You know elementary schoolers have chapter books and tweens have middle grade books for every subject? Older teens (ages 16+) have young adult books, but what happens to the in-between teens? Those who may be too young for the grittier topics, occasional sexual content, drinking scenes, and often strong language used frequently in young adult books.

Younger teens often feel a bit lost looking for the right kinds of books for them. While many enjoy upper middle grade books, these stories might be a bit too young for the average 15-year-old. If you're looking for good books for 14-16-year-olds, this list is your best bet! I've included the sweetest YA books, several of which have no romance arc, only a few instances of strong language, and a couple of kissing scenes at best!

They're also more able to tolerate tastefully done stories about sexual harassment, domestic violence, addiction, serious mental illness and other harsh, unpleasant realities of life. On this list, you'll find books that hit all of these themes.
