What Our Readers Say
TESTIMONIALS FROM AROUND THE WORLD
“Reading research is clear that the most important factor in learning to read is reading real texts. Jeff Nathan’s “interactive, personalized, choose-your-own-path mystery” series offers a powerful invitation to engage reluctant and struggling readers in the act of reading. I’d recommend this to any elementary teacher of reading.”
“My 5th grade son LOVED this book. It gives readers a choice within reading. As he made incorrect choices, he wasn’t disappointed. Rather, he was very excited to continue figuring out what the right one would be from what he learned. This book has many ingredients to help get kids excited about reading and I recommend it highly.”
“This book addresses such important issues in such an engaging way. Tomorrow my grandson turns 5 years old and I just can’t wait to put him on my lap and read this together! The characters are so silly but the behaviors are spot-on and the illustrations are delightful! I can’t wait to see both of my grandsons expressions when they see their faces! Thank you active literature!”
“They love reading about themselves! Students were very excited to experience Jeff Nathan’s mystery book. They loved reading about themselves, especially as the hero, and the choose-your-own-path aspect got them interested in seeing what would happen…”
“My 4th grader… Does not always enjoy sitting and reading…. He was absolutely HOOKED on your book… He totally ditched the TV show he had been watching!!”
