Do you want to submit a book recommendation? Here are some simple guidelines to help you write one!
- Choose a book that you have recently read in its entirety (not more than 8 to 12 weeks ago.). This book should be excellent for students in grades 6 to 9. (No “Boxcar Children” or “Magic Treehouse!”)
- Choose a book that you thoroughly enjoyed (if you hated it, don’t recommend it!)
- In an email write the name of the book, genre and its author as well as a short “teaser” to get someone else to read the book. This is like writing a commercial for the book. The point of a recommendation is to get someone else to read the book! The teaser should be a descriptive/persuasive paragraph of no more that 150 words. If you need some examples check out our “Book Picks” pages. Remember: DON'T EVER TELL THE ENDING!!!
- Check your book recommendation for vivid writing and correct spelling and grammar. If you don’t check your mechanics it won’t be considered for the web site!
