An Open Letter to Teachers, Librarians, Parents, and
Students about Middle Grade Mysteries & Adventures and Accelerated Reader
I grew up hating to read in spite of the fact my father was
the author of over 70 books during his lifetime. Some of these were books for
children. Since we lose many of our young readers after middle grade, I’m
focusing my attention on mysteries and adventures for these readers.
Accelerated Reader – With school just starting again, you already understand the affect this point system has on young readers.
Several of my early books received AR tests so students who read them could earn
points.
Early on, some of my books were included in the AR
system. Then the publisher went bankrupt during the economic turndown. Since
then, some of those books have been republished.
