Publisher's Synopsis
When book reports are due or booktalks impend, students inevitably search for the thinnest books possible. This guide reviews 100 books, each 200 pages or fewer, with the highest quality and the most enjoyable story lines. Given for each book are standard bibliographic information, genre, grade level, subjects, characters, main themes, readability rating (i.e., how long it takes to read), and ideas for how to write a book report or booktalk based on that title. A wonderful resource for slow or reluctant readers.
