Disappointing by Nancy Wells
As Nancy Pearl makes clear in her introduction, children’s and teen books aren’t her specialty, and it shows. She lumps books into only three categories (!) for ages 1-18: babies to age eight; 8-12; and 13-18. Those are huge ranges; most books for an 18-year-old are not suitable for a 13-year-old. So good luck figuring out which one is actually for your child’s age and reading level. She gives little information beyond author, title, sometimes the illustrator, and a line or two about the book. She doesn’t give number of pages, publisher, date of publication, etc. I assume it didn’t take her long to throw this together. I know she has a lot of fans, and I find her books for adults well-informed if cluttered. But this “guide” is truly disappointing.
Excellent for teens by M. Heather Foeh
My daughter is at that tough age for books… too old for kids books and too young for adult books. And the world of Young Adult books is a bit bewildering. This book helped her find some great summer reads - it was worth every bit we paid for it. One recommendation: 13 Little Blue Envelopes
A Must for Teachers & Librarians by S. Feicht
Professionals who work with children and teens will find Nancy Pearl’s latest book a treasure. Parents, grandparents, doting aunt’s will discover a bounty of books to purchase or suggest to the children in your life. Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl tells about her favorite books from childhood and today with contagious enthusiasm. Every school and public library should have a copy at hand.
Wonderful guide by G. Snelson
I’m always looking for good information on books for my granddaughters…Book Crush: for kids and teens is the best I’ve seen.
