Re: [LM_NET] lower level fiction for high school

[Carol Maples <maplescarol@GMAIL.COM>]

I have used books in the Orca Soundings series with middle school with great
success. They would also be appropriate for high school. The reading levels
vary from 2.0-4.5 with a page count around 100-120.

According to the website, these novels are "short *high-interest* novels
with contemporary themes, written expressly for *teens reading below grade
level*."
