Comments

With so many outside forces chipping away at the building blocks of strong character, we have sought out books that would encourage readers to think independently, and act courageously. We believe that the books we have chosen do just that.

Abstract

With the thousands of books published for children each year, it is impossible to include every worthy title. In this list we have tried to meet the interests of both genders and a variety of racial groups, putting first compelling plots in which young people demonstrate strong character. In addition, stories must be well-written, attention grabbing, and age appropriate.

Titles are taken from See Me Shine: Developing Character Through Books: Ages 10-12
