Use reverse psychology to reach reluctant readers! The young Bacon brothers have ingeniously conceived an irreverent, hilarious guide that shows students how to avoid the mandated 20 minutes of reading per day. Perfect for struggling and reluctant readers in both mirroring their experience and getting them to read, the book begins like this: OK. You have to read for 20 minutes. But you don't want to. Maybe your mom even has a timer. Yikes. Here's the best book for you. This one. Right here. Spare text and minimal illustrations will make this an attractive book for graphic format fans. Don't be put off by the title—teachers have the last laugh. The Bacon brothers taunt on the final page, "Ha! Caught you reading," and your reluctant and struggling readers will indeed have finished a book!
