Wingspan Reads Ages 10-13

Captivating reads for the growing years. Our middle school selections are wholesome, age-appropriate, and chosen to encourage courage, kindness, and personal growth. While we avoid books with actual swear words, on rare occasions a euphemism for a swear word may appear as an expletive. If that occurs, it will be clearly noted on the Preview Page with the page number as part of our content warning system. Romance, if present, is always minimal and age-appropriate - typically at the level of a first crush, never central to the story, and always flagged for parents in the Preview Page.

We choose books that promote positivity and encouragement. While individual characters may face challenges or growth arcs, the overall tone of each story is wholesome and uplifting. These titles are carefully chosen to uphold traditional values and guide readers toward stories that build character. They also make excellent family read-alouds.

Every book purchased from The Story Nest includes our exclusive Preview Page - a parent-friendly guide with a summary, content notes, and discussion questions. (Digital Preview Pages are also available separately for families who already own the book.)

Note: Our content review focuses on the story itself. Supplementary materials such as author notes, acknowledgments, or extras are not evaluated as part of our review.
