What can I say about the Junkyard Dan series? Initially, I purchased the first two books to read them myself and see if I thought our learners would be interested in them. I was excited and surprised when I couldn’t put them down! I had to finish them. I figured if they held my interest, they might hold our learners’ interest as well.

They do!

The characters are 3-dimensional! The plots are timely and intricate! The relationships are emotional and have depth! How do you manage to do that so that a learner newly adventuring into reading can be successful? I don’t know you (except for a couple of phone calls), but I think passion, knowledge, talent, and hard work – that’s your killer combo.

The workbooks shouldn’t be called workbooks; they should be called funbooks, or smilebooks, or laughbooks. Your workbooks help to lighten spirits and heal hearts! Often, that’s something our learners need.

Elise, I totally get your purpose of putting out cool books for to help struggling readers learn to read, but your books are more than that! Your books are a self esteem tool, a career advancement tool, an SLD tool, a Drop out prevention tool, and an intervention to gangs. Your books are more than just fun...they are a life raft for an alarming portion of the at risk kids that I am so passionate about reaching!!!! Every YMCA, after school program and community program needs your books!

From a Middle-Grade educator

The Junkyard Dan novels turned my students from resisters to readers. These engaging stories that are easy to read caught their attention and kept it.

Once one student read the first Junkyard Dan novel and moved onto the second, I had to buy extra sets because of the number of students asking to read them.

Boys who never wanted to read before were asking to take the books home so they could finish them.
