Write Reviews for Library Board

A book review is an opinion piece backed by evidence. Unlike a summary, a review evaluates the book: what works, what doesn\'t, and whether you recommend it. Writing reviews for a real audience — such as a school library board — requires you to be persuasive, specific, and fair.
