100 Wholesome Books For Girls And Tweens

November 15, 2016 by Sallie Borrink
32 Comments
Print Friendly, PDF & Email

Finding wholesome books for girls and early tweens can be challenging. So much of what is being published today is drivel at best to downright concerning or even abhorrent. If you have a sensitive girl, it’s even more challenging. In an effort to help, I’ve compiled a list of books for girls of various ages that would fall into the category of wholesome.

Table of Contents

  • What is a Wholesome Book?
  • Sallie’s Favorite Books
  • Mouse Scouts
  • Owl Diaries
  • Cobble Street Cousins
  • Nancy Clancy Series
  • Trixie Belden Mysteries
  • The Shoes Series
  • Betsy Tacy Books
  • All-of-a-Kind Family
  • American Girl Stories
  • The Boxcar Children
  • Grandma’s Attic
  • Flicka, Ricka, and Dicka
  • Brambly Hedge
  • Lois Lenski Books
  • Little House: The Martha Years
  • Little House: The Charlotte Years
  • Little House: The Caroline Years
  • Miscellaneous Classic Books and Series
  • The Happy Hollisters Series

What is a Wholesome Book?

Wholesome can be defined so many different ways by families so let me lay out what my criteria was in creating this list. Wholesome to me included books that featured:




  • Positive relationships
  • Fun reading
  • Generally lighthearted with a positive message
  • No serious violence (some mysteries below might imply light violence or crime)
  • No profanity

Wholesome in this list does not automatically mean:

  • Christian
  • Twaddle-free
  • Perfect children who never do anything wrong
  • Award-winning literature

I also want to point out that some of these books were published decades ago and therefore reflect the times in which they were written. I did not review them for what would be considered politically incorrect attitudes or language today. If you or your child are very sensitive to these issues, then you will need to review them first.

These lists are presented in no particular order. They cover a wide variety of interests and ages. There are many that would be a great addition to your study of history. (My love of history bias definitely shows up in this list!)

Sallie’s Favorite Books

Some of my favorite books are in other sections below. But first off are four books from my childhood that I loved that didn’t fit neatly into any of the other sections. Understood Betsy should be read aloud to every little girl. I just read it again myself this month and it’s so wonderful. The same with The Hundred Dresses. Caddie Woodlawn is a classic. I haven’t read The Janitor’s Girl in forever, but it is one book I loved as a child.

Mouse Scouts

Mouse Scouts is a newer and adorable series. These stories are both fun and educational. They include cute illustrations throughout.

Owl Diaries

Owl Diaries is a newer, colorful series. Caroline has enjoyed these.

Cobble Street Cousins

I’ve mentioned the Cobble Street Cousins before because Caroline absolutely adores these books. We’ve read this series aloud many, many times. They are sweet stories about three cousins who live with their Aunt Lucy for a year.

Nancy Clancy Series

If your daughter loved Fancy Nancy books like mine did (see her sixth birthday party!), she might enjoy the next step up – Nancy Clancy. These are cute mystery stories perfect for girls. Caroline enjoyed these books.

Trixie Belden Mysteries

I loved, loved, loved Trixie Belden when I was a girl. David read the entire series aloud to Caroline and when they were done she asked to go through the entire series again! (Yes, they are!) Some of the books you can get new on Amazon, but if you want to read the entire series you will have to track down some of them used on Amazon, ebay, the library, etc.

The Shoes Series

I have not read the Shoes series, but I know they come highly recommended.

Betsy Tacy Books

This is another older series that follows Betsy, Tacy, and later Tib. It’s a classic set of books that will introduce girls not only to friendships, but also the history of the time. These were a favorite I need to read again!

All-of-a-Kind Family

All-of-a-Kind Family was one of my very favorite books as a girl. I read these so many times. Every girl should read this fun series and learn about both the family as well as the historical and cultural setting.

American Girl Stories

Even if you don’t purchase an American Girl doll, the stories are very well done. The historical sets offer a great way to introduce your daughter to different time periods and how people lived. David and Caroline read many (most?) of the series aloud and loved the Caroline series the most.

Grandma’s Attic

I haven’t read this series, but it comes very highly recommended by many. I’ve only included a sampling here. There are many more also on Amazon.

Flicka, Ricka, and Dicka

We read these to Caroline and we all enjoyed them. They are sweet stories set in Sweden about triplets. (There is also a series of triplet boys – Snip, Snap and Snur.)

Lois Lenski Books

I read many Lois Lenski books as a girl. Strawberry Girl and Shoo-Fly Girl were two of my favorites. Each book introduces the reader to different places throughout the United States. A great way to learn history!

Little House: The Martha Years

There are three series that come before the “Little House” series. The Martha Years are about Laura’s great-grandmother in Scotland. History and geography while reading!

The Charlotte Years are about Laura’s grandmother in Boston.

Little House: The Caroline Years

The Caroline Years are about Laura’s mother (and, eventually, her father). I enjoyed reading all three of the prequel series.

The Happy Hollisters Series

The Happy Hollisters was a highly popular mystery series. I haven’t read these, but they sound like they would fit into the category of wholesome. I’ve included some of them here. There are many more on Amazon.

    Very impressive collection of recommendations! Thank you, this is much needed these days. I can’t believe how pathetic the collection at my library is for the next level of reading for my 8 year old. Vampires, boy-crazy girls, etc. are supposed to be enjoyable and good for her. This list will help me have some idea what to request through the county-wide system or look for as purchases.

    I do see one item on your list I wouldn’t feel comfortable letting her read alone. As a Christian school teacher, I used to recommend Daddy Long Legs to my middle school students as extra reading. However, I finally read it myself, and was surprised to find it had a very subtle anti-Christian bias. As the main character grows up, she becomes “enlightened” and her belief in God (or in the church’s doctrine) wanes.

    I know you said this wasn’t a Christian list of books, just thought I’d add to the discussion by sharing my experience with it. To me, this one would cross the line from a secular book with no anti-Christian agenda to one that I would caution parents to read with (or at least, before) their children. It is a sweet, rated-G romance, however.

    As I said, I’ve been kind of stuck on what to have her read next. This list looks very comprehensive and amazing! Thanks for compiling!

      Hi Suzanne,

      Thank you for your comment. I agree with current tween and teen literature. Most of it I see at the bookstore, etc. looks like total junk.

      I haven’t read Daddy Long Legs in ages so I should pull that one out again. (That link goes to a free Kindle copy for anyone reading this comment.) It’s interesting how we pick up different things at different times in our lives when we re-read books we loved in the past. Thank you for the heads-up about that book!

      I’m so glad you have found this list helpful. I’m not aware of a similar list for boys. I would be happy to put one together, but I would need recommendations from moms of boys since that isn’t my area of strength. I will keep that in mind. Maybe I can get a bunch of moms to give me some ideas.

I could not recall its name just now, and as I was searching for it , I came across a website that could be very helpful for your “Boy List.” It is called 12 Classic Wilderness Survival Chapter Books Worth Revisiting. I just glanced at the list but the titles seemed familiar and positive.

      I haven’t read any of the Happy Hollisters yet. I have a couple downloaded on my Kindle, but other books keep bumping up ahead of them. I don’t even remember my library having them or I’m sure I would have read them when I was a girl.

      But I loved Trixie Belden! LOL!
