Rating Rubric

After extensive research and interviews with librarians and English teachers, this rating system was created. All of the books on this website are rated by volunteers according to this system. Subjectivity may occur in ratings and summaries. For a better understanding of why the book was rated as it was, compare the descriptions in this rubric with the numbers in each category for each book.

The charts below show a breakdown of ratings for each category for the initial 135 books on the table on the home page of this website.
