My Savior


. . .is NoveList K-8.  The original NoveList also has a section for tween and teen literature.  It's a great place to go to search for books when a patron asks for books based on a general theme, or when they like a certain book and want other books from a similar genre.  This is also a great place to go for "If You Like This Title Try These Books . . ." lists.  It's also helpful for staying current on the most recent titles and trends shaking up the YA literature world.  One of my favorite parts in the Awards category, where different book awards are listed from every state.  This is a fun way to find books that have received recognition, but may be a little more under the radar than books receiving national book awards.  If you don't want to be bombarded with the price listings and commercialism of the big box book store websites, NoveList is the place to receive the same information, plus much more.

Many public library websites offer NoveList K-8 and NoveList for anyone with a library card number for that particular library system.
