Is your middle schooler reluctant to read?

In his twenty years as an educator, David Paris has encountered middle schoolers from all walks of life. He has also encountered the many reasons that his students are reluctant to read. They believed it had no intrinsic value in their lives, and they didn’t understand its future importance. Paris spent his career helping students work past this reluctance and experience the joy of a good book. His latest project is Laughable Legends of M.S. 99, a series of short stories that address the realities of adolescence and school in fun and fulfilling ways.

His collection includes tales of a student dedicated to failing every class he takes, a girl obsessed with circles who meets a boy who loves lines, a fight between a busy graffiti artist and the school custodian, a mean bully cursed by the school witch, and other unique and hilarious situations.

Even the most hesitant reader will find something to love about Paris’s work, and middle schoolers will discover that they’re not alone. In this crazy world of hormones, gossip, and gamers, the power of books brings everyone together.

What customers say

JaneyGlidden United States

I bought this for my 13 y/o ADHD special needs grandson as an effort to get him to start reading , to increase his reading level, and as a part of effort to decrease his television time this summer while he is with me. He loved it! He pretty read this overnight and now I have ordered the next one letting him pick what he wanted. He found this an easy read and this is the first book since Dr Seuss I can honestly day he read and can tell me about what he read. He lives this author and this series. Love love love this series!

Bettina Katz United States

Although the lessons in this book were geared towards middle school aged children, I found myself envisioning the scenarios that were being played out. I loved that the chapters were short enough to keep the students attention, yet strong enough to convey scenarios that were very realistic and relatable to people of all ages. Each chapter provides a lifelong lesson in a fun and entertaining way and is a must read for all middle schoolers.

Marianne Clyde United States

My son laughed out loud to this book. He isn't a fan of books at all.

Jim Soviero United States

The author sustained his energy and sense of humor throughout. I pictured him delighting as he penned each hyperbole. While the structure remained consistent across stories, the content, the “legends”, varied enough to keep me guessing. He took each story where it wanted to go rather than parading the characters about as object lessons. I admire the author’s courage as I deem this road, he being a schoolteacher, a bold one to take.
