Samples of the JUNKYARD DAN workbooks:

 

Now we've warned you that these aren't like typical, boring workbooks, right?

Each workbook corresponds with two of the JUNKYARD DAN books.

So, in case you're not getting it,
Workbook #1 goes with Start of a New Dan and Dried Blood.
Workbook #2 goes with Stolen? and Gun in the Back.
Workbook #3 goes with Plans and Money for Nothing.
Workbook #4 goes with Stuffed Animal and Poison, Anyone?

 

Click HERE for a sample of a two-page spread from Workbook #1.

Click HERE for another (different) sample workbook page from Workbook #1.

Click HERE for a sample spread of pages from Workbook #3.

Click HERE for yet another sample page from Workbook #3.

 

In our workbooks, EVERY page is unique and different.
They are fun and light because we firmly believe that learning should be fun and entertaining.

So although these are some samples of our pages,
they in no way represent the fantastic assortment of fun things in our workbooks. (They are merely... a taste.)

 

You will need a PDF reader to see these samples.

Please make sure you are viewing them at their "actual size"so you can see them in their actual size.

[Don't get us all riled up again about this issue. Just see the "Samples - Books" page to find out about one of our pet peeves. (We kind of ranted on and on. But we're sorry about that. So we won't repeat ourselves.)]

 

Thank you for visiting Nox Press.

Nox Press is totally responsible for proving to your learners that reading doesn't have to be hard or boring.

I've been tutoring a 26 year old "kid," an inmate in a correctional facility, to improve his marginal reading skills. He loves the first in the Junkyard Dan series. As he tells me often, "this will be the first book I've ever read." I'm writing to tell Elise Leonard what a great idea she had to do the series, and how "on target" she is in the approach, humor, content and "voice" of the narrator. Beautifully done. Keep up the great work.Cheers,

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.
