ACHUKA
An independent review site. It has interviews, reviews, author links and more. Excellent. |
cool-reads
Reviews written for 10 - 15yr olds by 10 - 15yr. There's a mixture of detailed 'review' and snappy one-liners plus star rating system. You can search by Author, Title or Genre. |
KidsReads
Very useful for American writers such as Louis Sachar. Plus, test your knowledge with the interactive Trivia quizzes. |
LoveReading4Kids
Although a commercial bookseller's site, it has excellent reviews and news about new books. I have only just access it myself, so more info later. |
Reading Matters
You can search via: Author, Title or Genre lists, or you can try a Lucky Dip or opt for 'Bookchooser'. |
| tBk MAG current copy in the magazine rack, plus reference copy shelved at JNF 820. With reviews, interviews, quizzes and more it's just the thing to while away a break or lunchtime. |
| Also, 'Author Zone' at JNF 820 for information about the authors you like to read. |
