Kids Lit
Books and More for Children and Teens

In the last few days, the Adbooks list has been discussing online resources where teens review books.  Because it can often be frustrating to try to figure out what teens in general enjoy without becoming stereotypical, I love these sites!  Here are my three favorites that were mentioned on the email list:

LYRE: Center for Literature for Young Readers from Youngstown State University offers the LYRE review which is filled with book reviews by high school students.  The Review is posted quarterly and features a mix of brand new titles and older ones.

NotRequiredReading.com also does reviews by high schoolers.  Their interface is more graphical and will probably appeal more to teens themselves.  They have different sections such as What's Hot and Pageturners to draw you in.  The What's Hot section does feature hot books in YA lit.

Teen Book Review is my final pick.  It is a book review blog written by 16-year-old Jocelyn.  She also has an active MySpace, a great blogroll, and does incredible interviews with authors.  Amazing!
