Have you ever been stumped when trying to find the next read for your child? Check out NoveList K-8, a free database you can access from the Clifton Public Library! Scroll down to "Student Support" on the Kids tab of our website and click "Visit Now" under the NoveList K-8 tab. When you enter the database, you will see many different options to browse for fiction reads for grades Kindergarten through eighth grade.
But a really fun option is to search for a book your child really loved and find Read-alikes.
For example, why don't we look at famously-loved Diary of a Wimpy Kid?:
Not only can you easily find reading levels here, but you can also see a description of the book, suggested reading age ranges, series titles, and much more. However, a very useful function is the "Read-alikes" option.
On the right side, you will see covers of different books that are listed as similar to the book you selected. This makes finding similar reads a breeze! You can also expand the list of Read-alikes and see why they are listed as similar.
We also offer an all-ages version of NoveList, which is easily found through our Databases list on our website. Feel free to comment below or call the library if you have any more questions - we would love to hear from you.
