of Narnia? Look him up in Who
next…?: a guide to children’s authors and find a list of nine authors who

like’ him.Novelist can be used the same way, to find similar authors, but its big selling point is that one can find subjects, reading level, set location, nationality of character and/or mood of the book …and whether Sutherland Shire libraries hold it!
