I am looking for books for a very intelligent 16 year old young woman that are not fantasy or romances but are novels about people, their struggles, relationships, challenges. I am wondering if The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, or Flowers for Algernon would be appropriate. I would love for something along the lines of Where the Crawdad Sings but the sexual content makes it inappropriate.
Jackie,
You might browse Betsy’s list of 7 Books for Thoughtful Teens and my Worthy YA: the Best Teen Reads of 2017. Other possibilities:
To Kill a Mockingbird
Forward Me Back to you and Bamboo People are good
All the Days Past, All the Days to Come by Mildred Taylor (but it has some sexual overtones in places–mostly because Cassie finds herself in some dangerous spots)
Between Shades of Gray by Sepetys

Oh goodness, what a treasure trove! I just finished Honey for a Child’s Heart and would love to dig into these blog posts! The one about early literacy in preschoolers was especially helpful!
