[quote=Anonymous]I posted earlier that I've read both of those books.  I am a children's librarian.  Commonsense Media is a useful site for parents, but it does tend to have a conservative slant.  DH and I use it a lot when looking up movies, because we tend to be pretty careful about movie violence.

If you want to see other perspectives, Barnes & Noble includes editorial reviews on their website from a host of reputable review publications - things like School Library Journal, Kirkus, Booklist, and Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books.  All of those are generally more liberal than Commonsense Media, although School Library Journal tends to be the most conservative of the professional review sites.  I use B&N a fair amount professionally just because it's free and easily accessible.

Ghost has multiple starred reviews and is generally reviewed for ages 10-14 / grades 5-9

The Hate u Give also has multiple starred reviews.  It is typically recommended for grade 8 and up, or ages 14 and up.
