Knowing how to use your library's catalogue may help too. Some modern catalogues allow patrons to add their own data about books, including reviews and ratings. |
Thanks for the link but it isn't quite what I was after. I'd prefer to see books that kids actually want to read rather than books that seem to be prescribed for their age group. I'll admit I don't understand grade levels (I'm from the UK). What I'd really want to see is something like:
Age 13
- Harry Potter ****
- Hunger games *****
- Holes *****
Age 14
- The old man and the sea ****
