Franco was an hour into his morning dive. He swam to the edge of the reef. Something caught his eye. When he swam closer, he gasped. There was a huge ship's mast! These traditional reads are brimming with spirited characters and positive values-but with a little extra excitement and bite, so hold on to your hats! Written expressly for the middle grade struggling reader, the series does not contain strong language, edgy themes, or dysfunctional families. In fact, family is the main theme of these titles. And one particular Latino family is the focus with their uncanny knack for finding humor, hope, and colorful personalities-even in unusual circumstances. Written at the lowest reading levels, the 50-page story structure is straightforward and moves the reader through the text quickly and efficiently.

Chapter 1
Todd Bardo Jr. walked across the Penn State campus. He was lost in thought. He was thinking about South America.
Todd was a well-liked junior in college. His roommate and best friend was Franco Silva. Franco and Todd were football players. Now that the season was over, they had a lot of free time.
Franco and Todd met for lunch in the cafeteria. Franco got there first and waited. When Todd sat down, he put his head on the table.
“What’s wrong?” asked Franco.
“I am stressed,” Todd said. “You know I was born in Ecuador. My dad was a doctor. After medical school, he went to South America. He went to help the poor for a month. But he ended up staying there for forty years.”
“Yeah, I remember you telling me about your dad. He was a respected doctor,” Franco said.
“Yes, he was. Most of his patients were poor. He never charged anyone a lot. He asked them to pay what they could,” said Todd. “He got paid in fruit,
vegetables, chickens … Everyone loved and respected him. He even built a clinic in Quito, the capital.”
“Why does that make you stressed?” Franco said.
“After my dad retired, the government wanted to thank him. They gave him exclusive salvage rights to five miles of reef. The Ecuadorian government did that for people who helped their country.
