 Books and Reading

  • ALA's Teen Reading
  • Books in Series and Sequels From Bettendorf Public Library.
  • No Flying, No Tights graphic novel reviews.
  • Flamingnet At Flamingnet, a father and son team from Baltimore manage a team of student reviewers that read current books and prepubs (books that are not out yet) for preteens and teens. Books are rated on a scale from 1 to 10, and some are given a smiley face content rating. Click the What's this? link below the yellow smiley faces to learn what the different ratings mean. The site also has a civil war section (wish they explained why), and a bulletin board for posting comments on any of the reviewed books.
  • Teen Ink: Books Teen Ink is a website and print magazine devoted entirely to teenage writing and art. Their book reviews section contains more than 600 reviews written by teens. Unfortunately they are only browse-able in reverse chronological order, or alphabetically, so it is impossible to peruse a specific genre. Best click is the form to submit your own reviews. In addition to books, Teen Ink accepts movie, music and college reviews.
