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. Mary Pat Dodson Literacy Coordinator Glendora Reads! Glendora, CA |
| When I took my first look at the Junkyard Dan series I could hardly wait to share them with teachers at my school. I had spent years as a teacher trying to find reading material for my very low reading level high school students. These students were embarrassed to read the books that were at their reading level but could not read well enough to read even low level high school material. Junkyard Dan is perfect for these kids. I'm the librarian now and I bought several sets of Junkyard Dan books and workbooks to share. We are using them in ISS and in reading classes (regular and ESE). Teachers tell me their students love them and that no one minds being seen reading these books. You can expect us to order every new book Nox Press offers.

| I teach 6, 7 and 8th grade Resource Literacy. My students are reading between K-3rd grade level. I have really struggled to find books that are interesting to them (not my dog fetched the ball), and are at their level. Our wonderful Media Specialist knew of you and the series from working at a Juvenile Prison. He ordered your books and hoped that my kids would like them. The books came in yesterday, and I shared a few with my classes, and all of my boys have already been to the library and checked them out!!
