Piper would like to get to know the new girl at her school, but the girl isn't very friendly. She just wants to be left alone. The other kids in their class have given up trying to be the girl's friend. Piper still wants to give her a chance. Maybe the girl has a reason for acting that way. Piper decides to find out what that reason is. This series of short novels was designed to engage a broad spectrum of struggling readers. No longer will upper-elementary students have to read material junior to their maturity and interests. Characters are age appropriate and come from diverse cultures and backgrounds. 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.
