Divided into three sections -- Easy Books, Middle-Grade Readers, and Young Adult -- "Book Crush" makes wonderful reading connections by theme, setting, voice, and ideas. For horse lovers, Pearl recalls the classics ("Black Beauty, Misty of Chincoteague"), but in a creative twist connects ...

"I liked the way this book was set up in three sections for young children, middle-grade readers, and teens. Each division discussed books related by a theme or mood. There was a nice mix of old and new books. I saw many I'd like to check out from the library.
I think the book could be improved if the recommended books stood out more, rather than just include the title in bold print, with a description, and the theme or topic discussed in essay form. I would prefer to see an introduction to the theme, then book covers and a description of the book.
I also would have liked more recommendations and themes in the teen section. It seemed the middle-grade readers received more attention. Overall, parents, kids and teachers could benefit from perusing Book Crush."
