Recently I have been asked by a HUGE number parents, teachers and pupils about how to go about finding the right book.

 Obviously  asking me is always the best option but for those days when I am working elsewhere or those things called weekends and holidays who can you turn to?

There is no magic wand but there are web sites that can help!

Top tips:

Pick more than one book or even create a reading list online

Don’t like it – don’t keep reading – plenty more books out there

Five finger rule – find five words on the first page you don’t understand – perhaps the book is too hard.. for now

We don’t have it and you want to read it? Tell me and then tell me again and keep telling me till I buy it!

Librarian recommendation are ALWAYS the best,
