A variation of the Lexile theme:
We have many younger students whose Lexiles are high - yay! However,
it is very difficult to find higher Lexiled books (especially fiction)
without mature themes or that don't require extensive background
knowledge that would make them accessible to the young reader.
So, I
did a quick bit of research for the cause.
I found this great list:

and this is an interesting "generated" list:

This one includes for MS too, so it might have some books with more mature themes:
