[ISLMA-Share] Websites for Book Reviews/content/reading level

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I would suggest Common Sense Media as well, and lexile.com for reading
levels.  GoodReads is awesome, but I would caution against letting the
child use that site without a parent because the child might accidentally
click into romance or erotica.

Another good one is Clean Reads <http://cleanreads.com/>.  It's a
commercial site for purchasing books, but the books are considered
"wholesome" and without strong language, violence, sex, etc.  I also like The
Children's Book Review <https://www.thechildrensbookreview.com/> and Through
the Looking Glass Book Reviews <http://lookingglassreview.com/books/>.
