Both were great!\r\n\r\nA lot of times there is an offer for a variety of colors with doodlers but really, the students seem to gravitate to solid colors and just go.

Students appreciate that these texts recognize and engage with their increasing interest and awareness of social relationships, family circumstances, and the broader world. I appreciate that these books are meant for this age group. I went through a phase when I was their age where everyone was going straight from \"Babysitters' Club\" to \"Jurassic Park.\" I was embarrassed to keep reading kids' books, but I knew the Michael Crichton and Stephen King novels my peers were reading would scare me.
