"Character Appeal" Makes Its Debut on NoveList

Looking for a suitably complex character?
NoveList has added "character appeal" to help you find the books your students are asking for. Follow the link for more details. (For home access, you will need your school ID and PW - see your TL)

"For some readers, likeable characters are essential, and if you can add relatable to that, even better! Other readers require more depth, and for a suitably complex character may be willing to engage with a protagonist who is flawed, or even in some cases unlikeable. Some readers may be looking for quirky characters, rather than brooding, introspective ones, and books with large casts of characters may draw some readers in, while warning others away...."
