These books are all younger middle grade and age-appropriate. The Million Dollar Race has a social media subplot and environmental and labor issues.  Stowaway, Edge of Extinction, and The City of Ember are science fiction novels with plenty of action and characters in peril at times and deal with parental loss. Temple Alley Summer deals with supernatural elements, death and illness (including of children), and extreme conditions. Inside Out and Back Again deals with issues of immigration, war, bullying, and parental loss. Scritch Scratch is a horror story, dealing with ghosts, fires, and historical tragedies. Here in the Real World deals with bullying, alcoholism, and coming-of-age themes. The Castle of Tangled Magic deals with fantasy elements and characters in peril. Masterminds is dystopian work and deals with main characters who are clones made from the DNA of criminals. 

If students want to discuss any big issues in the book club, I will listen to what they are feeling and respond in an appropriate way but will also redirect to the questions I have planned for the students. As every family is different, please review all books before signing up your student. Amazon, GoodReads, Common Sense Media, and Kirkus have reviews that are helpful to parents.
