>> Good afternoon! I am trying to determine the best way, if any, to look up books by review. For example, I read somewhere that The List, by Patricia Forde is The Giver meets Fahrenheit 451 for middle schoolers. Now I can't find where I read that. I'd like to be able to easily find such reviews so that if I teachers asks for books similar to Fahrenheit I can recommend this book. Any suggestions?
