First Love Books For 9-Year-Old Kids

Books about first love for 9-year-old kids may follow characters trying to balance friendships, crushes and the pressure to fit in with their peers. Some stories focus on changing social groups, while others look at embarrassment, rejection or the excitement of being liked by someone for the first time. These books work well for independent reading or conversations about relationships, confidence and emotional honesty.
