I came across this website when looking for a biography of an author. Kidsreads.com has lots of neat reading resources. There are biographies of hundreds of authors. The site has reviews of the latest books. The site also has a feature called Books on the Screen, that takes a look at some of the newest movies that evolved from some popular books.
