Book Description
for The Gift by Jim Westcott
From the Publisher
Hi-Lo Chapter Books for Children. This series of short novels was designed to engage a broad spectrum of struggling readers. No longer will upper-elementary students have to read material junior to their maturity and interests. Characters are age appropriate and come from diverse cultures and backgrounds. Science fiction, sports, paranormal, realistic life, historical fiction, and fantasy are just a few of the many genres. Books are no higher than a 1.5 reading level, with illustrations on every spread that support visual literacy and draw kids into the text. ZekeÕs parents have split up. His dad is hurt and angry when Zeke sides with his mother. But ZekeÕs emotions go on a crazy roller coaster ride when heÕs visited by a mysterious kid that only he can see ... until he finds out his grandpa can also see the ghost. ZekeÕs world is rocked in new ways when he finds out that he can see and talk to the dead.
