“Educators ask how they can provide exciting and age appropriate materials for students who read below grade level. I have recommended Orca Currents and Orca Soundings. The response is overwhelming. Soundings and Currents provide students with books that are developmentally appropriate and still accessible…these books provide the practice

—Teri Lesesne, professor of YA lit in the department of library science at SHSU in Texas, an active YALSA member and an author of two professional books
