This book is part of the innovative Code Reader series for struggling readers ages 8 to 12. Books in this unique series feature pronunciation keys following difficult words throughout the text. For example, the word "coyote" might be followed by: (ky-OH-tee). These pronunciation keys help make the books easier to read than traditional beginning chapter books.
