Heads
up for sensitive readers:
Is
this a good title for book reports?
Absolutely. If you have a reluctant reader who needs a quick book for a book report, then this is it. There will be many questions raised and topics to talk about.

If you need other high low books for high school aged readers I suggest the following titles: (these links will bring you to Amazon US.)
Burger Wuss - Lexile = 420L
Break - HL470L
Annexed - HL470L
I feel boys may particularly like those titles.
Thanks for stopping everyone!
Happy reading!
