Reviewer Relief

I encourage the kids at work to tell me about the books they have read and to do a review, and rarely do myself. So I relished the chance to do a review for the latest Sally Prue novel for Reading Zone which they have published. I actually found the process quite challenging especially as I struggled to engage with the novel at times, and I had to remind myself that this is a novel aimed at 8-11 year old children not adults. Also putting in negative comments  was a challenge to me as what i see as a negative other folk may not have an issue with, and is it just me not engaging with the book properly rather than a flaw in the writing!
So I have a new appreciation for pupils at work who are tasked to do book reviews, and having struggled with this one, I think I need to get a few more done to hone my reviewer style!

These will be very effective especially for end of year reports to highlight what I would like management to see first, and highlighting things like survey results to staff and students. One thing I will have to do is work out how to get better information and reports out of my Library Management system. I know what ...
