“London feels stuck. His school friends think he’s this confident kid who likes video games and will kick your butt if you get on his bad side. His high-achieving parents think he’s a genius coder …None of this is true.” (from the review of ‘Is There A Boy Like Me?’)

Sometimes parents and children want to read more high-quality books but don’t know about review sites that will help. The following are 11 well-respected sites that Menderist often uses for research.

Learn about helpful websites from organizations such as Kirkus, CommonSense Media, and Quill and Quire. We also link to a popular crowd-sourced site, and two independent review sites.
