    I was recommending the Bookfinder to a friend whose daughter is in public school but needs good book selections for her daughter.  I was trying it myself but maybe I’m doing something wrong?  I first selected 2nd through 4th grade and saw those choices for her daughter, then was doing one for my son so changed it to 7th through 9th, but the books didn’t change.  The whole first page still said in the tags, SCM 1st, 2nd, …

    I tried starting over in case the page just didn’t refresh, also tried selecting leisure reading, then grade levels, and nothing changed.

    Am I doing something wrong?

    Thanks!

    It looks like the top results for all of those searches are the same books. I spot-checked a couple of the books and noticed all of them are recommended for grades 1–12. That’s probably why the search results didn’t change.

    You might try changing the Sort by option to sort the results by title instead of relevance. That should show different results at the top for the different searches.
