By Marlene Blevins


Information on or summaries of books for your teen would be so helpful to you when you are trying to find appropriate reading materials for your child. The very best source for this is in young adult book reviews which you can find in publications and online. They will be beneficial in assisting you in locating exactly what you have in mind for that special young person.

These reviews will help in deciding if it is something that the young person you are searching for will enjoy the contents. Reading them is a wonderful method of narrowing down your choices or finding new authors with interesting and engaging writing.

Learning about specific works will help save money and time when selecting reading materials. You don't want to buy something and then have it lay around the house for days without being opened even once so choosing something compatible with your teen's interest is vital.

Your teen's interests are known to you better than anyone else so it is up to you to utilize any resources to assist you. First you must decide on the type or genre of the work you are seeking. You can choose from romance, fantasy, science fiction, drama and futuristic novels or you may be seeking a nonfiction work on space travel or cars. Using online searches may give you much more information because of the availability of resources.

A review that has caught your interest may have a very interesting introduction. It may discuss the author's writing style as well as the genre of that particular work. Writings by the same author may be mentioned. The genre may be revealed as well as the writing style or format used. The author may be compared, favorably or unfavorably, to other writers. Some of this vital information may also be revealed at the end of the article.

A short story summary will be given. It will describe the author's style and knowledge of included materials. It will give readers a framework of the entire work so individuals can decide if this is something they would like to read. This summary, however, usually does not include the ending as it would spoil it for the reader. Many a time, an individual will stop reading the article right there if it is not a subject he is interested in. He probably won't even read the remainder of the account.

Those individuals who become intrigued by what the article reveals will continue reading. They may plan on purchasing that particular work either at the store or online. They will have a chance to evaluate any language or violence issues inside the pages. If parents are not sure if they wish to buy it, they can write down or copy the article for future reference.

Searching for these writings in books, periodicals, newspapers and at online sources will help parents and even teachers expand their immediate horizons by guiding them to published works of both fiction and nonfiction and traditional as well as newer works. They make wonderful guides to purchasing future books by the exact same author if the young person enjoys the writing content and style.
