Free Childrens Books and Young Adult Books for Kindle: Linked List of Over 1,000 Free Classics For Boys, Girls and Teens

Free Childrens Books and Young Adult Books for Kindle: Linked List of Over 1,000 Free Classics For Boys, Girls and Teens Review

I read hundreds of the books from this linked list as a kid, both from my father's old collection and from second-hand bookstores. I tried to include all of the classics for kids that are available for free through Amazon, and also concentrated on the series type books I remember so well. Approximately a quarter of the 1000+ listed books are part of series, and these I list by series as well as by author.


This list of free classic children's and young adult eBooks works best on Kindle 3 and iPad. If you click the linked title, it will bring you directly to the Amazon product page for the free eBook in the Kindle store. If you are using a Kindle 3, an iPad, or other eBook reader with a decent web browser, you can sign into your Amazon account and download the eBook immediately.


If you are reading on an older Kindle 2 or Kindle 1, you can add the book to your Wish List and the next time you use a computer to access Amazon, you can have the Wish List items sent to your Kindle for free. Or, if you want to begin reading a eBook immediately on an older Kindle, you can simply note the title and cover design of the linked eBook in the Kindle store, and then search for the title with your Kindle. If there are multiple copies, pick the one with the cover that matches, confirm that it is free, and then download it to your Kindle.


Many of the book series in this list were composed by various authors under a single pseudonym, such as Victor Appleton for the Tom Swift series. I use the pen names in favor of real names since that's the only way most of us recognize these books. Some women, like Mary Lousia Molesworth, chose to published under their husband's name, so that "Mrs. Molesworth" was the name on the books, and that's how I list them. Some of the books I would have liked to include simply aren't available free on Amazon, like Dicken's "David Copperfield", or full versions of "Tom Sawyer" and "Huckleberry Finn" from Twain.

Harvey Comics Classics Volume 5: Harvey Girls (Harvey Comic Classics)

Harvey Comics Classics Volume 5: Harvey Girls (Harvey Comic Classics) Review

They're cute, they're clever, and they're obsessive! Some of Harvey Comics' biggest stars were three "little" girls with large dreams, enormous hearts and king-size laughs: Little Audrey, Little Dot, and Little Lotta. Audrey was a Paramount Pictures animated cartoon movie star, who became a major comic book headliner in 1948. Her comic book stories were filled with ingenuity and her spunky, proto-feminist antics rivaled those of her cartoon progenitor, Little Lulu. The strangely obsessive Little Dot has become a cult figure throughout the years. Her love of dots and her unique coterie of eccentric uncles and aunts became the basis for some of the funniest stories in comic book history. Last, but hardly least, is Little Lotta who defied the "big" girl stereotype with adventures showcasing an incredible strength that equaled her insatiable appetite. It's 480 pages - many in finely reproduced full color - of Harvey Girls gone wild! This comics collection features the very earliest stories, beginning in the 1950s and leading up into the classic period of the 1960s.

In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower: In Search of Lost Time, Vol. 2 (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition)

In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower: In Search of Lost Time, Vol. 2 (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition) Review

In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower is Proust’s spectacular dissection of male and female adolescence, charged with the narrator’s memories of Paris and the Normandy seaside. At the heart of the story lie his relationships with his grandmother and with the Swann family. As a meditation on different forms of love, In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower has no equal. Here, Proust introduces some of his greatest comic inventions, from the magnificently dull M. de Norpois to the enchanting Robert de Saint-Loup. It is memorable as well for the first appearance of the two figures who for better or worse are to dominate the narrator’s life—the Baron de Charlus and the mysterious Albertine.
