Ms. McMillan will publish some of the best reviews on our English 7 blog. For this reason, think of your audience as other seventh graders who may be interested your book.

Not sure what to say? Keep these tips in mind:

1) Be honest: Give your review personality and remember that kids want to know what you REALLY think.

2) Be detailed: Tell us exactly what you liked or didn’t. Was it a story you couldn’t put down? Were the characters just like people you know? What made it special?

3) Be accurate: Be sure to get the title, author, and character names right, plus double-check your spelling and grammar. We aren’t able to post reviews that don’t make sense or have the wrong information.

DON’T spoil it: Please don’t give away the ending! Tell readers enough about the plot to hook them, but keep them hanging so that they want to read the book.
