Series Review: Groove High"...middle school readers will love the energy and excitement of these stories. It's not all glamour and stage lights in the Groove High series, though--Sarn covers tough topics like eating disorders and asthma. Virgile Trouillot's manga-style illustrations are a perfect match for the text, and the smaller size, about five by seven inches, will make these titles attractive to struggling and reluctant readers."
