“These small, large-print paperback books in the Orca Soundings series use simple vocabulary and short sentences combined with lots of authentic dialogue and engrossing subject matter, making them ideal for high-interest, low-reading collections. The authors are not afraid of controversial language or material, which is in large part the secret of the series' appeal. Open endings lead to discussion and further exploration. These little novels with their colorful covers are sure to be a hit.”
"I have read 12 books and counting so far. I loved them all. I hope that you continue to publish more of those interesting books." - An Inspired Fan, Ashlea MacDonald, Grade 12 Student
"…an excellent series for high school students who need to improve reading skills … age-appropriate themes as well as situations … a Hi/Low fiction series that does not call attention to it being Hi/Low.” - Ty R. Burns, Cypress Springs High School, TX
“…impressive and believable.” - School Library Journal
“Teens will gobble up this cool high/low resource…simple, clean language, slick packaging and a compact size make this an ideal choice for both teens and educators. School and public librarians will be overjoyed to discover this high-quality new series for reluctant and struggling readers. Highly recommended.” - NMRLS Youth Services Book Review Group
“…they are well written, a great read and will give your low end readers something age appropriate. Would make great books to discuss in class. Can't praise them enough.” - District librarian
"Because of your series for teens my 14 year old son now considers himself a reader. One of his teachers introduced him to the books and he's now read them all. I never thought he'd pick up a book, but on a recent family trip he stayed up late every night to read. I can't thank you enough for publishing the series." - A parent
