 When you write, do you think about the
potential book's appeal to non-readers? 

• R.L. Stine Almost all of my books are designed
  for reluctant readers. When I wrote and edited
  educational magazines, I learned how to write for
  different reading levels. I try to keep my scary
  books at a 4th-grade reading and vocabulary
  level. In addition-- short books, fast-paced,
  lots of surprises and twists, cliff-hanger
  chapter endings to force them to go on to the
  next chapter, and plot-driven books with little
  description to slow down the action.

76
Qualities of Books for Reluctant Readers Fiction

  rather than descriptive text

123
The Turn Around Books

• I dont think there is one turn-around book.
  That reduces a love to reading to a silver
  bulletor in this case a magic book. Reluctant
  readers come to reading reluctantly. For a while
  theyll be book-at-a-time readers---readers who
  will read the book we put into their hand but
  they wont seek out the next good book on their
  own. Gradually, with support and encouragement,
  theyll move toward a stance that says, This
  reading thing is goodgood enough that Ill seek
  a book out on my own. Maybe thats the
  turn-around-bookthe book that the kid on his own
  finds that he enjoys - Dr. K. Beers (via email)

• From "Amanda
• Subject Hi I loved your book
• To Patrick_at_connectingya.com
• My name is Amanda!!! I am 15 years old and I have
  just finished reading your book "Things Change".
  It has been the most inspiring thing that I have
  read in my life!!! See normally I do not enjoy
  reading but, this book just captured me and
  sucked me in!!! I have never finished a whole
  book, but this one I read it in two days flat!!!
   I have never read a book that related so well to
  teens today. You were so real when you wrote this
  book........ I was shocked to find that this
  was your first book dedicated to teens!!! I only
  wish that you write more!!! The girl Johanna was
  so strong it only made feel good about my self!!!
  I could relate to every single thing in the
  book.......  and it can only show to others that
  real things can happen to real people!!! And
  you told it like it was in the book..... I just
  wrote to tell you that you are now my favorite
  author!!! And I HOPE that you write many more
  teen books because I can guarantee you I will the
  first to get one!!!
