So? There's still a ton of books that do meet the OP's criteria. I don't understand why people feel the need to criticize someone else's lifestyle choices, and especially seem disposed to criticize if those choices are what would be considered "traditional."
If the OP had been looking for GLBT reading I'm sure they would have gotten a ton of recommendations, without being chastised for raising their children too sheltered or being told that by reading GLBT they are cutting themselves off from a lot of books.
You can remove any of the Mercedes Lackey books from the list. She is one of my favorite authors and Valdemar is one of my favorite worlds, but it has a lot of homosexual characters, non-graphic but brutal rape and other things the OP is not looking for.
