MEETING PEOPLE is a book of seven fiction stories for adults reading at the Third and Fourth Grade levels. They include a story from 1810 England, two stories of the Old West, a modern mystery that's kind of spooky, and three love stories of life in the 1930's, a modern special care home, and a modern fairy tale of love-at-first sight in a mall.
Readers will find word lists of terms they might not know. Mentors will find Questions that make the reader think, as well as possible answers they might hear.
