Flamingnet Book Reviews

the problem:

Flamingnet Book Reviews (www.flamingnet.com) was created in 2002 by my father and me. When I was in fifth grade, I became a voracious reader.

people impacted:

0

people involved:

0

why it's important:

This led us to combine my reading with his hobby, computer programming. Gradually I wrote reviews on the books that I read, and my father posted these on the web. National publishers and authors of young adult literature, after seeing my reviews, began asking me to review their books. These publishers include Penguin Books, Scholastic, Random House, Simon & Schuster, Time Warner, and HarperCollins, as well as many other publishers and individual authors.

the plan of action:

As I received more books, I began to accept student reviewers from all over the United States to help with the reviews. Flamingnet is currently a growing young adult book website, and my father and I are kept very busy working with our Flamingnet online community. Additionally, I support young adult reading programs in needy libraries and other facilities with donations of books and monetary contributions generated from my web site.

Hi !!
I wish the best for Mr Seth Cassel .

May I introduce Mr Seth Cassel in my weblog, and write about his great works for teens and my friends?

Thanks!!

I want to thank Dosomething.com for selecting me for a Plum Grant award. It will be used to spread the word about Flamingnet.com to junior high school and high school libraries.

I also want to thank Raman for the nice words. Please feel free to write about my website. Maybe you know someone who would like to become a Flamingnet student reviewer?
