Shadow Lands is a multi-reading-level, 15-book series (5 books per level) for struggling or reluctant readers in middle school and high school who need more practice with commonly used vocabulary. All fifteen Shadow Lands stories feature male and female teenage characters and contemporary stories that students can relate to, including events at school, family issues, and relationships.
THIRST (Level 1)
Lexile: 140–240
COVEN (Level 2)
Lexile: 270–300
BLACKWINGS (Level 3)
Lexile: 340-410
Each level exposes the reader to an additional amount of the most frequently used words in the English language. Thirst (Vampires), Coven (Witches), and Blackwings (Demon Hunters) each have a different group of main characters, and can be read independently of the other levels, although students who read all three levels may discover some interesting connections!
