Varied subject matter.  Diversity of stories will captivate every student in class. Designed to engage struggling mature readers with stories that are real-life, relevant, and sometimes provocative.

Controlled Readability.  Carefully chosen structure and format of each book allows students to succeed as they read. Each book is color-coded to identify readability of 1-2, 2-3, 3-4, or 4-5.

Offers a variety of reading approaches.  Students can work on individual silent reading or in pairs or small groups.

Teacher's Resource Book.  Provides reproducible worksheets and extension work for the whole series.

Real Lives.  Each book in this 25-book series tells the story of a famous personality from sports, film, and history. Each book contains photographs from the person's life.
