The Rusty Key is a new online resource dedicated to all things Kid Lit, from picture books to teen fiction, to author interviews and more. The website reviews books for children and young adults in a unique format.

The old rusty key has become an icon in literature that has thrilled children in countless stories as they imagine what might be behind the locked door.
Upon arriving at therustykey.com, you are greeted at the “front gate” and presented with different old keys as your navigational tools. Selecting the jewel-encrusted key will lead you to The Reading Room, filled with book reviews. While the other keys will direct you to the attic for kids book events, the cellar for interviews and articles, and the shed for staff bios and contacts. There is also a Golden Key Collection, housing the all-time favourite books.

Keeping with its old rusty key motif, the design of the website is wispy and whimsical, making it an attractive resource for young readers.

The Rusty Key intends to aid kids, parents, teachers and librarians in helping young readers to get their hands on the books that they’ll love for a lifetime.

Unique to website is its one-word book summaries including, earnest, vibrant, ambitious, and even unreadable.
