I recently purchased Saddleback's Heights series targeting our grades 4-6 special education students with very low reading levels. The covers and promises of action-packed stories are appealing to older students. Crash is the first title I have picked to read from the series. The storyline is good, but reading it was almost painfully difficult for me because of the incredibly short, stilted sentences which really disrupt the story's flow. I was left unimpressed, but so far other titles in the series have been circulating well.
