Here are a few websites that I found interesting, these ones are to do with fiction, reading and reviews:
This magazine style website features
reviews of books for children and young adults, as well as articles on, and
news about, literary issues. There is
also a forum where people can talk about children’s books and literature. The reviews are both positive and negative,
giving the sense of critical rigour to assist with book selection. Books are given a star rating for quick
assessments.

This blog is both for kids and by

favourite authors. There are regular
competitions to win books. The latest
library titles are also promoted.
