As elementary school reading tutors, the teens of Reach Incorporated noticed that few children's books reflected their reality. They decided to do something about that: they wrote their own.

The results are these professional-quality books capturing the voice and creativity of DC teens. Whether you’re looking for a tale that will tug at your heartstrings or a story of wacky creatures in magical lands, we have the right book for you. These books show what teens can do when their creative powers are unleashed. Each author is a trained and experienced literacy tutor, and they set out to create books their students would love. Winner of the National Book Foundation’s Innovations in Reading Prize. Ages 5 – 8.
