Most review sites offer reading information based on lexile which is based on grade level and book complexity, but these reviews are also based on the books' contents. The site explains: "For second grade readers, the recommended Common Core Standards reading levels are 450-790 Lexile. Lexile is a measure of the grade level and text complexity of a book. All books included in this site are within this Lexile range.
However, it’s a bit more complicated than that. For example, the classic novelGrapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck falls within this Lexile range. But the topics and emotional content of the book is high school level. We take into account the content of a book before including here. Books recommended here are within the correct Lexile range AND the content is recommended for second grade readers."
