At 17 years of age, Kobe Bryant was one of the first players ever drafted directly from high school into the NBA and well on his way to becoming one of the most famous basketball players of all time. His incredible talent and pure determination had a profound and lasting impact on the world of basketball, in the U.S. and beyond. But Kobe did not start as a basketball prodigy in the U.S. He spent his childhood in Italy, where soccer reigns and few of his peers played basketball; none of them with his skill and intensity. This story takes Kobe from shooting hoops in a church playground in Rieti to playing for the LA Lakers in the NBA.

Great series - Intro to Paris

Looking for a way to introduce your students to Paris via a story? Like cute little rodents? Novice students need lots of input and repetition and a glossary to help them out? Look no further. There's definitely a bit of repetitiveness in these books but the storyline and curiosity about what happens to Rhumus keeps you reading. The author is very capable and has come up with yet another creative storyline that gets students reading. I particularly liked the 2nd book which had me hooked in wanting to know how the building frustration of the rats would resolve. You won't want to miss adding these titles to your classroom library!

I recommend this product.

Interesting and at my level (A1-A2)

This book was a pleasure to read. I understood most of it, but there were still some words I had to look up. The glossary in the back was very convenient. The story was interesting as well, and I found myself looking forward to seeing what was going to happen. Thanks.

I recommend this product.

La lettre

This was a great novel for my 8th grade French students. It’s compelling and relatable. They love reading that other kids go through similar challenges during adolescence. Highly recommend.

Your students won't want to put it down

This book is written for more of an intermediate student. This one definitely holds my students attention! I really love that it has ties in "real" life and you can incorporate the Netflix and History channel shows when reading this one. I suggest buying this one with its sequel!

I recommend this product.

My students LOVE it!

I LOVE that this book features an LGBTQ main character! I have not yet read it, because my students are ALWAYS reading it!! I have read the first few pages with my students, and the writing is excellent and engaging. It is a short story, which makes it awesome for your reluctant/struggling readers.
