White Lightning Mysteries

Reading Level: 3.0 to 3.5 | Grades: 6 to 8 | Lexile: HL410L to HL480L

White Lightning Books® Mysteries blends science fiction, mystery, and drama into eerie standalone stories that stick with readers long after the last page. Written for tweens at a reading level no higher than a 3.5, each 76- to 80-page chapter book pulls readers into a unique, unsettling storyline they'll want to puzzle over once they've finished.

Saddleback Educational Publishing created White Lightning Books® for middle schoolers navigating a stretch of self-discovery, high energy, and sometimes defiance, when the right book can make all the difference for a striving reader. Spanning Reading Level 1.5 to 2.5 overall, the collection is organized into three series: White Lightning Books® Fiction, White Lightning Books® Mysteries, and White Lightning Books® Nonfiction, each covering a wide range of themes and interests so there's an entry point for nearly every reader. These aren't YA or elementary books, a distinction younger teens notice and appreciate.
