Looking for a great read? Take a scroll through these recommended sites featuring book reviews and lists of award-winners for both children and young adults. Your next reading adventure is waiting for you.
Association for Library Service to Children: Notable Children's Books
The Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC) is a division of the American Library Association (ALA), dedicated to supporting children’s libraries. This page lists dozens of books, some of which won Newberry or Caldecott awards this year, and others who are chosen as “notable” by the ALSC. The books are organized into four age categories.
Goodreads: Children Book Lists
The Goodreads booklists are part of their Listopia feature; they are lists created and voted upon by readers. This link goes directly to the most popular children’s booklists. These include What Book Got You Hooked?, Best Series, Favorites from My Childhood, and What to Read After Harry Potter. There is also a young adult list; you’ll find a link to it in the Browse by Tag section in the right-hand column.
Kirkus: Young Adult Book Reviews
“Founded in 1933, Kirkus has been an authoritative voice in book discovery for 80 years.” Wow, not many can claim such a history. This particular link will take you to young adult reviews, which you can sort and filter in a variety of ways. For children’s book reviews, hover over the Book Reviews menu item. In addition to the reviews, both children’s and young adult books have blogs (which you’ll also find in the navigation menu.)
