Reader's Guide

This reader’s guide is here to help you learn how we rate our selections.

Target Audience Ratings

All of our books are free from explicit or inappropriate content; however, we recognize that not every story is right for every reader. That’s why each book includes a Target Audience Rating to help you quickly see which titles are best suited for different ages and reading preferences. Some books may fall under more than one target audience. 

Ratings are as follows:

Tweens
 Best enjoyed by readers aged 9-12 or “tweens” and up.

Teens
Ideal for teenage readers or older who can fully appreciate the story’s depth. **Story may include light to moderate romance, mature or complex themes, non-graphic violence, or mild language.**

Young Adults+
Recommended for young adult readers or older. May feature moderate to strong romantic tension(nothing explicit), mature or complex themes, moral dilemmas, stronger language, or more intense—but not gratuitous—violence.

 

Reader Reviews

Below each book description, you’ll find a Purely Fiction Reader Review. These brief reviews are written by trusted readers who share what made the story enjoyable and gently flag any content that families or sensitive readers may wish to know about before reading.
