1. Gaming & Decision Making
Reluctant readers want to control the narrative, enjoying content where they can influence the outcome or see the impact of bad decisions.

"If you want a boy to read, don't give him a book, give him a game."
- To Be A Boy, To Be a Reader, Dr. William Brozo, George Mason University, International Reading Assoc.
2. Plenty Of Action In Every Mission
Missions move along briskly, often resulting in life-and-death consequences. The stakes are high, providing a reward for readers who make the right decisions in each story.

“Boys like... sports, action, and scary stuff..."
- To Be A Boy, To Be a Reader, Dr. William Brozo, George Mason University, International Reading Assoc.
3. Rich & Authentic Imagery
Our Missions combine text and comic book pages in a highly visual, compelling way. Our stories also contain charts, maps and diagrams throughout each Mission and Mission Briefing.

“Boys need an extra jolt of imagery to engage them in reading...”
- Girls & Boys Learn Differently, Dr. Michael Guruan
4. Connect To Boys' Aspirations
Our Missions clearly show kids how to be leaders themselves, a highly aspirational concept for boys

“Boys prefer texts that have a purpose: getting information, making things, and helping others.”
- Girls & Boys Learn Differently, Dr. Michael Guruan
5. Multi-Generational Appeal
Moms and dads will enjoy our missions as much as boys will. We also recommend companion books that can help parents answer boys' questions.
