I am still receiving the helpful magazine called The Informer, which is a publication of the Indiana Association of Home Educators.  I've asked my "Michigander" homeschooling friends, and they don't seem to have a magazine for Michigan homeschoolers here.

This post is to share the three websites that they (The Informer) recommend for looking up books when deciding if they are right for your family to read.   Of course the book I looked up was not included in the reviews on these sites; so I had to go to Amazon and read the reviews there instead.  Amazon seems to always come through in a pinch, but I still don't know if there is "mature" themes from those reviewers.
