She is in high school but hasn't done the oral reading since poetry in 
fifth grade. She also does the Literary Criticism for U.I.L.  She 
keeps talking about wanting something from a psychopath for her 
nonfiction, but she hasn't found anything yet.

I'm the one who suggested HP, but then I am a fifth grade teacher and 
Oral Reading Coach. Maybe I need to adjust my thinking. What fiction 
are you using, if I may ask? You don't have to tell if you want to 
keep it to yourself. I'm just wondering what kind of novel she should 
be looking for. Which state are you from? What size school do you 
attend? 

Thanks for all of your help.
