I am a reading teacher for K-5 in a small school. I help the struggling readers. Recently my 5th grade class read Number the Stars by Lois Lowry. I had a student that has refused to read all year that read this book in 3 days and made a high grade on the final test. I now know that her problem isn't that she can't read, but that she has to enjoy what she is reading. Does anyone know of any books that are written in the way that Number the Stars is written? Lots of cliffhangers, and suspense in the book. I have given her another book that I think is good, Jacob's Rescue, but she hasn't started it yet. I really want her to keep reading so I would appreciate suggestions.
