<p>We relied on a specialty kids bookstore. They were fabulous - they knew if you liked one book or another, they could recommend well. </p>
<p>But they also went to small private big on language arts so the librarian, the library itself, the teachers, the school summer reading list for each grade, were all easy great sources. </p>
<p>But I should add that at a pretty young age-9?- they and their friends were reading tons and learned from each other what was worth reading, and chose their own books without much input from us parents. They were also not restricted at all in what they read.</p>
