momto2Cs Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Which version of Verne's Around the World in 80 Days would be the best for an 8th grade boy, very strong reader? And would The Island of Dr. Moreau be a good one? Also, the Time Machine - regular edition, or young reader's? Thanks so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almondbutterandjelly Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I use ARbookfind.com or Scholastic's Book Wizard to determine reading level. Just type in the book title, and look at the different editions that come up. 8.4 would mean 8th grade, 4th month, for instance. HTH!

Laura Corin Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 For the Jules Verne, make sure to get a good, modern translation. The first translators into English mucked about with Verne's stories, so don't go with them. L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
