Tips:
-
I found that the teens responded best when I focused on the evil genius aspect. Plus, I love that abou these books. =)
-
The illustrations are gorgeous and Artemis is fun for boys and girls equally.
-
These books are hilarious. Go with it. Be cheesy. At one point, I think I actually even did the “exccelllent” finger drum to express his evil genius. Did the kids laugh at me? You bet. But at least they were paying attention.
-
The graphic novel format is a good way to draw readers into the series.
