“A Jum­bo Sto­ry” about Jum­bo the ele­phant, con­tributed by Can­dace Fleming

Jon Sci­eszka’s Guys Read anthol­o­gy series for tweens turns to non­fic­tion in its fifth vol­ume, True Sto­ries. The fifth install­ment in the Guys Read Library of Great Read­ing fea­tures ten sto­ries that are 100% amaz­ing, 100% adven­tur­ous, 100% unbe­liev­able — and 100% true. A star-stud­ded group of award-win­ning non­fic­tion authors and jour­nal­ists pro­vides some­thing for every read­er, all aligned with the Com­mon Core State Standards.
