You mentioned you like fantasy and dragons - check out the Dragon Keeper Chronicles by Donita K. Paul. Book 1 is called DragonSpell.

Do the Lady Julia Gray series have any swear words? I can't remember for sure now but they don't have any sex scenes for sure and are a really good mystery series with a tiny bit of romance mixed in. They might have the "h" word and "d" word but I really can't remember.

If you like Action / Adventure, the entire genre is prety much cuss word and sex free.

You might try:
Steve Berry
Boyd Morrison
Clive Cussler

Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child also write some great thrillers with little violence, no sex and minimal swearing.

Also Into Thin Air (I'm reaching a little here, but I'm pretty sure it was clean).

My books tend to have more sex / violence / and swearing than you will appreciate.

Thanks for all the suggestions and more are always welcome!

I like some action/adventure/thriller books and I am pretty sure some of my children do to.

No, Robert, you did nothing wrong. Just a misunderstanding on my part.

Thanks and I hope you enjoy the book.

Thanks I have it. Now I am going to have to learn how to get a file onto my Kindle 3 when it doesn't come from amazon or getting it from the Kindle itself.

You mentioned you like fantasy and dragons - check out the Dragon Keeper Chronicles by Donita K. Paul. Book 1 is called DragonSpell.

If you don't mind saying I want to know if your two books are free of the content I object to. Hopefully me asking about them means you can answer without it being counted as self promotion. Otherwise please message me.

I have a guilty-pleasure in the Xanth series from Piers Anthony.  Some of the books do mention sex, but not really as a graphic, sexual scene thing.  It's pretty tame in that the world setting itself "bleeps" out bad words and things that fall under the "Adult Conspiracy" (ie. sex, bodily functions, swear words)

 

[Terrence OBrien]

When I want to move a file onto the Kindle, I usually just email it to the Kindle's email addr. I could plug the kindle into the computer, but the email works so well, I don't bother.

Do you enjoy classics? - Jane Austen tells a good story, but I doubt she even knew a swear word. Jane Eyre also has plenty of power and emotional drama, but no bad language or sex (possibly the odd "curse" from Mr Rochester). You say you like sci-fi; how about John Wyndham - Day of the Triffids is a good read. Also HG Wells War of the Worlds. These are all slightly old-fashioned, English writers - but all great. I would definitely recommend The Hobbit if you haven't already read it, beautifully written and the original "fantasy". Even Lord of the Rings is sex and swear word free - Tolkien was an English gentleman. Good luck with your search, there are certainly books out there that fit your criteria.

Update: I wonder if Jane Eyre would be OK? The Bronte sisters were the daughters of a clergyman but some of their characters do use the odd profanity.

Action/ Adventure - The Willard Price adventure series: good, all-boys adventures published in 1960s.

This is an interesting thread - Thanks for posting. 

I picked up a few books already for my kids!

You could try the historical fiction books by G.A. Hently for your 12 yr old. They are all the rage with a lot of my Homeschooling friends.

"His children's novels typically revolved around a boy or young man living in troubled times. These ranged from the Punic War to more recent conflicts such as the Napoleonic Wars or the American Civil War. Henty's heroes – which occasionally included young ladies – are uniformly intelligent, courageous, honest and resourceful with plenty of 'pluck' yet are also modest. These virtues have made Henty's novels popular today among many Christians and homeschoolers." -Wikipedia

Terrible source I know...I know, but it sums up his books nicely. For other books I should be the last guy to be asked. I spent six years in the military and I built up an ability to tone out curse words. It get really bad when I recommend a movie and then watch it with friends and realize the level of cursing in it that I just ignored.   

 

[Joe Chiappetta]

I am with you one hundred percent. More calls for clean books are needed. All of the books in my signature meet your fine description. The world needs more requests like yours. I am a parent too and decided to write books that I would not be ashamed to show my kids.

 

[RobertMarda]

Thanks for all the suggestions.

Now I have so many books to read I don't know when I will find the time.

I like some classics and have a number of them on my Kindle.

I've just read a lovely tale narrated by a 14 year old English school girl about what happens when her science teacher is accidentally reduced to the size of a Barbie doll.
This girl is savvy and smart and deals with all the problems she faces with an intelligent mindset.
Her attitude to boys is healthy and down-to-earth. No sense of being a Princess (successful or failed) or a vampire freak.
Despite it being a crazy fantasy, the girl, Annie, explains all her decision making with wisdom and flair.
No sex. The teacher says "Hell" a couple of times, but I guess that's because he's in it.
It's called Big Big Secrets, written by an English guy Robert Arley and set in England. But I would say rthe story could travel anywhere in the world.

Yes, my books are free from language / sexual content. Thank you for asking.

Another fantasy series I have enjoyed is The Legends of Guardian King by Karen Hancock. It does have some adult themes, but nothing explicit.

Here is a link to a website that has information about clean romance novels. It's called The Janes of Romances. These are women who write books that are clean.
I started it myself some time ago, but it's actually been difficult to find a lot of authors who fit in this category. Hope you find some good work there. I'm going to refocus my efforts on this website and start building it with more information. This is just a temporary location, and the site will be moving to a more professional one very soon.

So happy to find this thread. I'm new to the Kindle Board and wading through some of the other threads is a tad uncomfortable! Anyway, I've read a lot of great books that are clean reads and yet still exciting, entertaining, and satisfying. Have to Christmas stuff today but will get back here soon and post some.

 

[D.A. Boulter]

Have you considered the 'Tom Corbett, Space Cadet' series? These are older science-fiction books for youth and as such are very dated (1950s). We now know there is no life on Venus and likely never will be a chance of making it suitable for humans.

I certainly enjoyed them as a youngster.

As far as mystery novels like The Hardy Boys go: There is always the Nancy Drew series.

These ones appear to deal with cyberbullying, so are quite up to date:

The ElfHunter series is great and I don't believe they have any swear words in them, at least not that I can remember. The author is a member here so you can always check with her to make sure.

This is the first thing that popped into my mind when I read your post. I think these are perfect for you.

Another outstanding fantasy series is The Belgariad (5 books) and The Mallorean (5 books) by David Eddings. Not available for the Kindle, but definitely worth a read! I have read them again and again.

 

[JumpingShip]

The City of Ember doesn't have any swearing or sex scenes. It's YA, and appropriate for tweens and up.

I'll second the David Eddings books. Probably the most read, re-read books by my kids of any I have. I enjoyed the heck out of them when they first came out myself.

 

[RobertMarda]

Thanks for more good suggestions for me to check out.  I think I have read some of David Eddings books.  Isn't he the one who wrote about people with mind powers/psionics?

The old sci fi's sound interesting too.

I just finished the ElfHunter sample and will be buying that book soon.
