Hey there! I'm Stephanie. One of the things I've always loved is reading, so (with strong encouragement) I decided to turn my love of reading into something productive for the rest of the world.
The goal here is to present parents, teachers, librarians, and young readers with something that will give them an idea of whether a book is appropriate or would be enjoyable for their young readers or even themselves. The books I review will be books that I have read from cover to cover. I will note foul language, mature content, and things I would consider to be offensive. I will try to point out themes that would be good for student readers and a general age range of the targeted audience or who would benefit most from reading the book.
Now for a disclaimer, I am an avid reader so I may not be the best to determine the level of writing for readers. A simple rule of thumb to judge if the style is written to your reader's ability is to read a page aloud. If there are five or more words you have difficulty with on the average-sized page, it probably isn't the best book for the reader's ability quite yet. The story may be appropriate but definitely use your own discretion.
Happy Reading,
Stephanie
