What's It About?
Aside from the informative book reviews and previews of upcoming releases, KIDSREADS.COM features a selection of new titles along with a plot synopsis and occasionally an excerpt from the book. If kids are interested in a particular author, they can find interviews with many well-known writers as well as a list of books each has written. Other sections include New in Paperback; Books into Movies; Series (devoted entirely to series books); and for older kids, a page about starting and running a book club. Kids can also write to some of their favorite authors, take part in polls, answer the questions, exercise their brains by playing word puzzles and trivia games about books, and check out links to other sites of interest to young readers.
