Teen Book Reviews
Read any good books lately?
We want to hear about it!
Share with us your honest reviews and receive community service hours. A single paragraph (4-6 sentences) review for a book is all we need.
- One hour earned per one paragraph review letting us know what you liked/didn't like about the book and why others may (or may not) be interested in reading it
- Don't just say "This was a great book" or "I hated this book". We want to know the details!
- Ask yourself, How would you talk to a friend about this book?
- Think about the kind of things that you look for in a book review, and try to include those elements.
- Tell us the title and the author of the book.
- Limit of 5 reviews (a one paragraph review per book) per person for the year
