Great high-interest for all readers, reluctant or not
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
My daughter is a struggling reader, so I'm always looking for high-interest topics. After reading Avalanche! and Volcano! in this early chapter book series, she's now hooked on natural disaster stories. She zipped through both books in a couple of days--very unusual for her. They have a nice combination of real-life survival tales and interesting science, including how to avoid avalanches and what to do if you can't. Both books begin with survival stories involving kids her age--sledders trapped under an avalanche in Minnesota and a boy in Turkey who survived an earthquake inside a collapsed apartment building. Great stuff.
