How our ratings are configured:
We rate our books by using a 5-point scale in four different categories. The categories are as follows: Language, Romance, Violence, and Drugs/Alcohol/Smoking. On the back of the book, you will see one of the trees above with the following ratings:
*If any of the material in the book maxes out on our 5-point scale in any category, then the book will automatically be rated YAm.
The total rating is determined when the scores for each category are added and divided by 4 to find the average score for the book.
The leaves of the tree give you a short glimpse as to how the book received its rating.
If you would like more details on why a category was scored a certain way, you can check out the QR code on the back of the book or simply visit our website. The QR code will take you directly to our site, where you will find a detailed content disclosure for the book. If you purchase the book in ebook format, the tree and the QR code will be located within the first three pages of the book.
