If you have 10-14 year olds who have yet to discover the joy of reading, try letting them read about Maximum Ride. James Patterson writes plot heavy, fast-paced, chapters that may keep that child reading. As a literature teacher, I sometimes cringe at recommending Patterson's books (Daniel X included) but I have had several middle school students read the whole series. They have to practice reading to read better, and to avoid making reading a "Total" misery, they need to be interested in their book. Maximum Ride has the potential to be an enjoyable reading experience for many reluctant readers.
