Why is Harry So Compelling? A Teacher Trainer Perspective

Abstract

Introduction: What is it that grabs kids and adults alike as they read and discuss Harry Stottlemeier's Discovery? Is it that Harry Stottlemeier's Discovery is a compelling story? Is it that the ideas as so new and startling that they demand examination? Is it the clever graphic design of the text which pulls the reader into the novel? Surprisingly, it is none of the above.
