I just spent a few minutes poking around on Novelist Plus K-8. It's perfect for my school! I searched for fiction about football, a topic I'm very unfamiliar with, but our jr. high boys have been playing on a regional team for the first time. This would be an excellent way for me to gather information about books that might catch their interest. I could quietly check the lexiles to guide struggling readers toward something that would be a good fit for them. I can see that this would be very useful!
Looking over the information for David Baldacci's read-alikes, I wished something like that existed on the K-8 section. What an amazing amount of information about other authors. Makes me want to run to my local library and start reading! There would be no end of uses for that feature.
Using Novelist Plus K-8 would be helpful in finding books to add to our collection. It would help develop a more current collection, which is something we desperately need.
