Sports Reads for Tweens
Welcome to another installment of Tween Reads! This addition will focus on sports fiction titles by special request of Kathleen G! Keep your eyes peeled for other genres as the weeks go by. This list isn’t meant to be exhaustive, but to give tweens and parents some initial guidance as they make their way over to the young adult shelves. And some of these are titles that are new to the Children’s shelves or might have flown under the radar. What are your favorite tween sports fiction reads?
