Inspiring teenagers to read and to develop the love of reading is not an easy task. Students need to have a wide variety of books available to them, so they can find that book that they "just can't put down". Once they have that experience, they are more likely to try another book, and another. We have some "series" books that appeal to a wide variety of students. There are from 4-12 books in each series. Students read the first and can't wait to get the next book in the series. We need replacement books for these series books, to keep our kids engaged and excited about finishing the series in which they are interested.
