Age
Just like books for toddlers and younger kids, books for teens typically come with age recommendations. Choose a title that fits your child’s age group to avoid any inappropriate themes or language.
Timeliness
There is something to be said about encouraging your teens to get into the classics. However, if your teen just isn’t into Jane Eyre or To Kill a Mockingbird, it may be time to check out the newer titles to find something they may like.
