Reviews here are divided only by recommended reading level and have been placed in the lowest level that would appreciate the material. According to the Ontario curriculum, there are 4 groups: primary (kindergarten to grade 3; ages 3 – 9), junior (grades 4 to 6; ages 9-12), intermediate (grades 7 to 10; ages 12-15), senior (grades 11 and 12; ages 16-18).  I’m including an adult category because the themes and subject matter in the book would be best left to a venue outside of a school library although many of them are wonderful in this category.
