Your daughter knits her brows, crosses her arms and declares “Well -- I don’t know what to read” as you diligently “encourage” (otherwise known as “nagging” in children's circles) her to work towards the summer reading prize. You stammer as you “haven’t the foggiest” how to respond to that classic yet stout juvenile repartee.But splutter no more as here are two convenient, online Readers Advisory resources available to you and your family:
• Novelist K-8 Plus: offers reading suggestions by genre, awards, series, author, age groups, and keyword-searches (Central Park library card required)
