Customer Reviews

Enjoyed by wide range of readers in classroom.
You know how sometimes you want to read a book, but you don't have a lot of time, and you don't want to start something you can't finish? Well, the answer is here. Real Kids, Real Adventures is exactly what it says. It's an action packed series of short stories, three to a book, which are sure to attract young readers. I read two of the books in the series, and found all the stories to be really good. I also asked several of my own students to read them, and found that they were enjoyed by a wide range of readers. Students who normally have difficulty keeping on task with regular novels, were able to complete a story with little difficulty, something we both appreciated. I also found that these stories were just the right item for those days when you'd like to read something to your class, but you want to fit it into a reasonable time space.
