Turning the Paige: young readers' book reviews

Turning

Check out Turning the Paige, a new young readers' book review blog.  This site is written by Paige Turner (teen?  adult?), who reads and reviews the books.  Each entry has information about individual books, including a cover image, synopsis, age level, discussion of the book, and a rating (given a grade like a B-).  You can view lists of books by age level, series, grade, or genre.  The genres include items like Adventure, Fantasy, Realistic Fiction, and even "Books for Boys."  You can also search for a specific book or author.  The site is still in its infancy (only 4 months old) and there are not a load of reviews there yet.  But what is there seemed great to me, and definitely worth bookmarking.  Plus, you can suggest a new book to Paige for reading.

A small disclaimer: there are ads on the site, but most young people (like us older ones) have learned to tune those out to a degree.

"Paige Turner" HAS to be a made-up name....

Hi,

I grew up as a reluctant reader. Now I write action-adventures & mysteries, especially for boys 8 and up, that kids hate to put down. My web site is at http://www.maxbooks.9k.com and my Books for Boys blog is at http://booksandboys.blogspot.com , distributed by Baker & Taylor.
