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!

I am 11. I love your books.

I used to hate reading, but now I am reading more and more.

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.

My students love your books. I do not have but one in my room now. Students take them and never return them. I think they go from cell to cell.

Keep up the good work.

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.

My students love your Junkyard Dan series of books, and the only thing that can top them are your workbooks for the series! I just want you to know that your books and workbooks have made my job a pleasure, and I hope you will continue to get out more Junkyard Dan books. Besides your books, there's really nothing out there that interests my students.

Thanks for getting these books out there. I wish you and Nox Press continued success.

During open house in August the majority of the parents told me flat out, ”My child hates to read.” Virtually all of these students are now avidly reading your books. I’ve never seen anything like in all the thirty five years that I’ve taught “at risk” students!!!

I can’t thank you enough for making this the most productive year ever for my intensive reading students. I’m looking forward to sending you a copy of our test score gains at the end of the year.

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!!
