1. One of my favorite books is The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks. I searched Novelist Plus to find a read-alike and it displayed 5 different authors with the recommended books that they wrote : Emily Grayson (The Gazebo), James Michael Pratt (The Last Valentine, The Lighthouse Keeper, Ticket Home), Richard Paul Evans (Christmas Box trilogy, The Last Promise), Lynne Hinton (Friendship Cake), K. C .McKinnon (Candles on Bay Street). I also performed the same search at the “What Should I Read Next” website and it pulled up 10 different authors. The only record that was identical to the Novelist Plus search was The Christmas Box by Richard Paul Evans. The rest of the records contained different titles & authors. I also searched “Morton Grove Public Library’s Webrary” and the read-alike search displayed 12 hits. This website had 3 identical records to the Novelist Plus search, so it is very similar to it. I might just read those three books (The Christmas Box, The Gazebo, & The Last Valentine) and be the judge of the similarities.
2. I searched the DAWCL (Database of Award-Winning Children’s Literature) website and found two books for the fourth grade girl who is interested in animals (Bad Kitty Gets a Bath / by: Nick Brue & Charlotte’s Web / by: E. B. White). I also found two books for her thirteen year old brother who is interested in ghost stories (The Haunting / by: Margaret Mahy & Dead Connection / by: Charlie Price).
3. Novelist Plus recommends authors Greg Bear (Darwin’s Radio & Vitals) and Dan Simmons (Summer of Night). The “What Should I Read Next” website recommends Privileged Information by Stephen White. These are the Dean-Koontz read-alikes.
4. The series title is “Song of the Lioness”. These are the books in order: 1. Alanna: The First Adventure, 2. In the Hand of the Goddess, 3. The Woman Who Rides Like a Man, 4. Lioness Rampant. I obtained this information from Mid-Continent Public Library’s website.
