*************************
If your reluctant reader is a young teen, drop
Bran Hambric - the Fairfield Curse,
by Kaleb Nation, on his bedside table.
Bran Hambric was found locked in a bank vault at six years old, with no memory of his past. For years, he has lived with one of the bankers, wondering why he was left behind -- until one night, when he is fourteen, he is suddenly confronted by a maddened creature, speaking of Bran’s true past and trying to kidnap him. ....................That's what I call baiting the HOOK!

For younger readers,
HOOK them on books by these 2 Authors:
Dirkle has his own web page, where he shows kids where to go for the Books, Fun Stuff , about the Characters + lots MORE. Available from AMAZON
Lynn told me this: "Kids who are just learning to read on their own need to find something fun and interesting, so they understand how much fun books can be. I write the kind of books I liked to read when I was that age: anything with a secret, a hidden room, transport to a magical land, or the discovery of something that had been hidden for hundreds of years.

I've read both of Renee's Crypto-Capers books and throughly enjoyed them. These others sound interesting too. I'm all for finding a way to get kids to read. My reluctant reader of a daughter took most of the summer off and now she really needs to get back into the swing of things.

Thanks for our comment Cheryl. Now, all you have to do is get your daughter to read these books!!

These books look like they'll certainly encourage kids to read. I think my grandson is too young for these though - maybe when he's a little older. Although my great nephew will be 9 in November...

Karen, if your great nephew is a good reader these books should be fine for him. Your grandson might like my Rattlesnake Jam - and autographed copies from my website also receive a coloring sheet + a FREE AUDIO of me reading the story + illustrations. See the trailer on my home page.
If his mom or you are game, there's authentic Rattler Recipes to try on my "Gran's Kitchen."
