Professional resources, assessments, and educational books.
Written specifically for young adults, the Urban Underground series confronts teens. The high school years are important to intellectual and emotional development. Teens are faced with many obstacles in life, both imagined and real. Finding stories that speak to their struggles can help guide them and build the foundation for the future. The teen experiences in this series are typical as students deal with trust, loyalty, friendship, unemployment, urban decay, drugs, dropouts, bullies, alcoholism, abuse, and self esteem to name a few.
The highly readable style and mature topics will appeal to struggling teen readers of both sexes and encourage them to finish each novel. More than entertainment, these books can be a powerful coping tool when a struggling reader connects with the text. These paperback books look and feel like a trade edition and are complete in just under 200 pages.
