2) Do everyone a favor and try to read books at or above your level. Try to read at least at a 5th grade level and higher. You are free to read and report on adult level books, too. (There are Hi-Lo books as well for teens that would be acceptable.)

3) Fiction, Nonfiction, and Graphic Novels are all acceptable.

4) If you have issues with writing neatly, you may type and print your reviews, and attach them to review forms. OR you can submit them online. Ask the YA Librarian for more details.**
