Two Boys, Age 6, Do Kids' Book Review: The World Should Read This!
Michael and Levko, age 6 (at the time this was filmed), review the Scooby-Doo book, "The Mystery of the Aztec Tomb" by Laurie Sutton, saying "The world should read this."
These founding members of the Roving Reader Leaders loved this book, which is one of many "You Choose Stories: Scooby-Doo" books from Capstone that invite kids to choose a number of different endings. Michael and Levko reveal their favorite part--a funny part--and think hard about a rating before giving it 6 million stars.

Not only do our Roving Reader Leaders review books; they also interview authors. Michael was thrilled to interview the author of this book, Laurie Sutton. He asked her about some of the choices she makes, made a special request, and got a promise from her. Watch his interview with her here:

Why are the kids called "roving" reader leaders? Good question! Many of our book reviews take part in gyms, parks, taxis, museums and on city streets and playgrounds. Our literary experts rove around, sharing their love of books wherever kids can be found!
It all began when book lover Michael, now age 7, decided to start reviewing books. He thought it would be fun to do book reviews in fun places. Since he takes his books everywhere, we began shooting reviews on the Oregon Coast, in Montana ski lodges, in New York taxis, and on playgrounds all over Portland, Oregon. Soon his good friends started joining in the fun.

Why do these KidLit Lovers, Age 7-13, Review Books in Gyms?
Why do the Roving Reader Leaders review kids’ books in gyms, indoor playgrounds, parks, libraries and bookstores?
First of all, we want to give you an example. In this video, Michael, age 7, chief of the Roving Reader Leaders, reviews “The Case of the School Ghost,” a Buddy Files book, at an indoor playground. At the end of each of his reviews, the interviewer says she hopes he’ll be back soon for another kids’ book review. He always says, “Why don’t we do it now?” and in this case, he slides down a slide.
Watch the review here–but beware, there’s a spoiler!
