The platform for making reading meaningful again.
With libraries struggling everywhere and required reading in schools becoming increasingly political, kids are losing the experience of picking out a book to simply enjoy it. At the same time, adults everywhere are wondering what happened to their own childhood favorites. In an era where social media dominates which books become famous and literature is starting to slip through the cracks, Recommended Reads is about finding the stories that mean the most to you and sharing them with the world. Our mission is to help parents and kids find quality books so that reading can stay a beloved and valuable experience for the next generation.


If you have a book you want to share, send in a recommendation with a title, author, and a short paragraph about why you love it.
If you’re looking for your next read, search our categories by genre and age range.
If you’ve read one of our recommended titles, share your experience on the book’s page to help others decide what to pick.
