But what happens when they learn something entirely unexpected about their favorite candy? This series of short novels was designed to engage a broad spectrum of struggling readers.

Science ficion, sports, paranormal, realistic life, historical fiction, and fantasy are just a few of the many genres. Books are no higher than a 1.5 reading level, with illustrations on every spread that support visual literacy and draw kids into the text. Each book is around 70 pages.
