This a post apocalyptic book about settlements that were set after a nuclear war between the USA and Russia. There are different types of societies, some which are very restrictive, and remove the free will of those who belong to the community. It is similar to The Giver enough that if you liked it you would love this book.
Overall: 5 out of 5
Language: Not a worry
Violence: Some intense violence, but nothing too graphic.
Morality: Not a worry
Age appropriate: 12 and up

The Chronicles of Narnia
by C.S. Lewis
I give this series a five out of five stars. I doubt that anyone is not familiar with this book series, so I will just say all the books are great and I really enjoy reading them.
Overall: 5 out of 5
Language: Not an issue
Violence: Wars and rumors of wars, but nothing graphic. The last book has a little more explicit violence.
Morality: Not an issue
Age appropriate: 8 and up
