New Web site helps parents "snoop" for fiction for tweens and teens

Created by moms, the site provides a parent's perspective on the content of books for children aged 9-18. Search tools help guide parents to books that reflect the experiences and interests of their children, as well as a quick search for those who already have a book in mind. New books are added daily, which parents can follow on Facebook and Twitter.
