I am starting a book club for a group of women that all have some form of a cognitive disability. I will be choosing the first book and giving them options after that. I don’t want to choose books that are too “teen” but I also don’t want to have books that are difficult to read or too racy. Any ideas?

“Seedfolk” and “Whirligig” by Paul Fleischman are both very good books that might do well.
“The Cat Who Wished to Be a Man” by Lloyd Alexander is a really interesting story, too. Actually, most of Lloyd Alexander would probably be pretty good.
Some of Rodman Philbrick’s books might work, especially the Mighty books (”Freak the Mighty” and “Max the Mighty”), though the first one has a sad ending.
Many people I know love “Inkheart” and “The Thief Lord” by Cornelia Funke. Thought they’re more explicitly for kids than some of the others on here, a lot of adults like them.
Kevin Crossley-Holland’s Arthur books are pretty good, too.
Good luck with your book club! It sounds wonderful.
I don’t know what genre of books you want to read, but I would strongly recommend the following books by Terry Pratchett. Although they are theoretically written for younger people and are therefore not “racy”, they are great fun for all ages.
The Wee Free Men
A Hat Full Of Sky
Wintersmith
Good luck with the club, it sounds like a great idea!
Maybe “Do Bananas Chew Gum?” by Jamie Gilson?
Book Description
Sam acts like a smart aleck to keep from looking dumb. Sam Mott’s made it most of the way through sixth grade barely able to read and write. Now Sam’s family’s moved again, and none of the kids in his new school have started calling him Dumbhead Sam — yet. But how long can Sam keep his problem secret when even the second grader he baby-sits for reads better than he does?
