In the CHESS library, we work to promote good literature and to recommend books that have been screened by reliable sources and/or have been read personally by our faculty and staff. (Exceptions are as noted under each list.) As always, however we strongly encourage parents to use their own judgement in determining whether a book or series is appropriate for their student(s). Also, the book levels are a general guide and are not meant to be limiting - go up or down as needed. Great books abound!
