HIP Junior novels have been created for students in grades 4-6 who read at a grade-2 to grade-3 level. Characters are young adolescents; plots involve high action but no real violence; themes are appropriate to middle school and senior elementary grades. Teacher's guide includes lesson plans, a plot synopsis, a map, background material, discussion questions, graphic organizers, after-reading activities and a quiz.

Teacher's guide written by Lori Jamison; book written by Paul Kropp.
