Read-Alike Collection written by Penny Peck

Children's library staff members are often called upon to do readers' advisory - offering reading selections to a young person based on that person's interests. Many times a reader will offer the title of a favorite book, and want similar books, which we call Read-Alikes. The demand for read-alikes is on the increase, so BayNews now offers a regular column of read-alikes, which is posted in this section of our website.
