Critical Reviews of Children’s & YA Literature by JustLj

Welcome!

This blog is dedicated to reviewing children’s and young adult literature as part of my coursework in youth services librarianship. Each review is written with critical evaluation in mind, examining not only the story but also its themes, diversity, illustration, style, and overall contribution to the lives of young readers.
