I teach 6th grade English and happened upon this book at our annual book fair. The price was right at $2.50 so I picked it up. Readers who struggle and are on the lower end will LOVE this book. There's another one very similar about Michael Jackson - King of Pop. KIDS WHO NEVER READ CAME OUT FOR THIS BOOK and rocked their A/R test.
