Finding a good book can be tricky. 

 Reading levels only tell you one aspect of a book; the level is an indication of the difficulty of the vocabulary and the length of the sentences.  This is helpful but what we really want to know is which books will fascinate us, will this book make me laugh or cry, which is the book that will make me see the world in a new way?  The best way to find those books is to ask some questions and be open to new ideas.
