We recently aquired a small set of books from Townsend Press : The Bluford Series.
"The Bluford Series novels from Townsend Press were written to appeal to both intermediate and advanced readers. Each novel contains less than 200 pages, encouraging even reluctant readers to read from cover to cover. Topics, themes, and situations in the Bluford Series were chosen to engage students' real-life experiences. By having immediate relevance to students' lives, the books are more likely to keep students' interest--and teach them the value and pleasure of reading." taken from http://www.embracingthechild.org/bluford.html.
The students are raving about them, hopefully we'll have some reviews on here soon!!!
