Great Reading For Middle Schoolers! September 12, 2009
S. Priest (USA)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I purchased this book and several others like it to help entice my middle schoolers to read more "information/non-fictional text" and to enjoy doing so. The stories are informational, well written, and exciting for non-readers. By reading and answering all the questions the readers have improved their overall literacy and I am very pleased with the results.
