Library/academic mastodon: is there a term of art for a book ABOUT a book?

like a book responding directly to another book (e.g. Appalachian reckoning : a region responds to Hillbilly Elegy) or just about the other book (e.g. a book for high schoolers about Catcher in the Rye)

It would be similar to a Reflection, or a Literary Review. Few such 'books' would likely exist inheritantly because of the limited subject matter.
