The novels in the HIP Jr. series are suitable for a wide variety of middle grade students for guided reading instruction, for literature circle discussion and independent reading. They have high-action plots with dynamic writing which hooks readers and keeps them interested. However, these novels have been carefully designed for a specific student - the reluctant reader in grades 4 to 6 who is reading at a grade 2 level. The Teachers' guide contains chapter lessons, literature circle role cards and more.
