Reflection: I found a book for reaching reluctant readers from the ages of 10 -15 years old which was still within my topic area. From the subject descriptors I chose preteens which had 29 hits. I think the subject descriptor lead me to books that were more on topic than the originial book (Naked Reading: uncovering what tweens need to become lifelong readers and Books that don't bore 'em which were all in the top 10 results).
