Have you ever finished a great book and wanted to find more just like it? Or wanted to help your child find just the right book to read? NoveList Plus and NoveList K-8 Plus, two helpful resources to help readers match up with the books that are right for them. The NoveList Plus database connects readers to their next book by making recommendations for what to read next. In addition to print and ebooks, the newly-added suggestions for audiobooks will intrigue readers who enjoy this format. By identifying the right books for every reader, it helps younger readers achieve reading success. Teens and adults also can find reading materials best suited to their interests.
