Book Review Guidelines

• Members and non-members up to 17 years of age can submit Book Reviews.  You may select your own books that you would like to share, or you may select books from The Chocolate Professors Book Club list, which will be updated monthly.
• You may submit your book reviews at any time and as many times as you like, but a separate Book Review Form must be completed for each book review.

The great thing about book reviews is that others can enjoy reading your thoughts and opinions about books you’ve read and you get a chance to see what other kids from around the world are reading.  Share your books and thoughts with others from around the world by completing the Book Review Form below.  If you are under 13 years of age, always remember to ask an adult to help you send your book review.
