I just got a new nonfiction series that is wildly popular with my middle school students. It is 24/7 Science behind the Scenes by Scholastic (Watts). I have both the medical files and forensic files and they are the hottest thing in the library. There is enough "ick" factor to appeal to this age group, and they have the illustrations and short blocks of text to appeal to the lower reader as well. All in all, it really hit the intended target audience. Both boys and girls are reading them, both gifted and struggling readers. Quite honestly, this is the first non-fiction series I've ever seen take off like this one. NAYY--just one amazed librarian. -- Anne Oelke Library Media Specialist pK-12 Cambria-Friesland School District Cambria, WI. mailto:cflibrary@cf.k12.wi.us -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
