Book Series for Kids Who Hate Reading

Gretchen Gales's picks from Writing Gales (writinggales.com) for kids who would rather do anything than read, chosen from the series her own students fight over. Percy Jackson is the one she has seen turn a non-reader into a bibliophile, and Ranger in Time, a time-traveling golden retriever, pulls in readers well past its 6-to-10 label.
