[MOSAIC] Book for reluctant boys and girls

[Sara Rivers]

My students like the Shredderman series.  There are 4 books and are at a mid
3 reading level.  The hero is a 5th grader and the books are funny.

My reluctant boys like the Alex Ryder series by Anthony Horowitz.  Horowitz
is a British playwright.
Alex is a 14-year old James Bond with gadgets and wild adventures.  The
firsts of the series is
"Stormbreaker".  This should be read first.  It reveals his background and
how he became a spy for
MI6.  The other 6 books are fast paced and exciting to read.
