Saddleback pageturners were especially designed to introduce reluctant readers to the pleasure of reading for entertainment. Each novella features a compelling plot, colorful young-adult characters, and an interesting modern setting. Short sentences and paragraphs, extensive use of the realistic dialogue, and the carefully controlled 4.0 reading level combine to ensure growth in reading competence as well as an enjoyable experience.
