  1. Reading Warrior

    “Since adding your Steven Adams book to my classroom library corner, it is now tattered and shabby from being read so much! At a recent parent interview, one of the children’s parents was in tears as she told me that she can’t believe how much her son now loves reading. He is basketball obsessed and I truly believe that reading your book helped to turn him onto reading.”

    “I have a new student from Hong Kong. He speaks Mandarin and Cantonese but reads and speaks very little English. He told me he plays basketball. He was here for a class visit the other day. I gave him the junior Steven Adams biography to have a look at and he was really chuffed. He will work on that with the ESOL teacher and on his own. He seems quite bright and is very determined to learn English. It has been a pleasure to purchase your books and share them with our students. The look of joy on that student’s face when he saw that the junior Steven Adams biography was within his reach was priceless. It is good to have go to books for all students.”

    “David, I think you are a genius! I have three teenagers, two that read anything put in front of them. The third wouldn’t pick up a book until I put yours in front of him. At breakfast, the only thing we talked about was Steve Adams. This showed me that he not only enjoyed it, he comprehended it. You are solving a number of issues writing these high interest books for teenagers with reluctance to engage in literacy. Please keep writing and publishing your books. From an ecstatically happy mother.”
