Welcome to TweenCity!

This blog is designed to be a selection resource for children between the ages of 9-14, as well as a reader's advisory tool for both current and future librarians.

PLEASE NOTE: An appropriate age range is given for each title, however this is merely a suggestion. Children, especially tweens, read at many different levels which cannot be determined simply by age or grade level. Therefore, it is important to assess each child's reading level before suggesting titles. In addition, since this blog is designed for tweens only, some titles listed may also be appropriate for children older or younger than ages 9-14, but these ages will not be listed.

Ages 9-12: Elementary school level (Grades 3-6)
Ages 12-14: Middle school level (Grades 7-8)

Thirteen years after Alice first fell into Wonderland, she returns to find that she doesn’t remember her previous adventure. Convinced that she is only in a dream, she embarks on a similar journey as her previous one. Except this time, she discovers that it is her destiny to overthrow the Red Queen and restore the White Queen to the throne by slaying the Red Queen’s Jabberwocky. Based on the classic stories by Lewis Carroll—Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass.
