Harper is selecting a fiction text for personal enjoyment. She is in eleventh grade and reads at her grade level; she enjoys mysteries and thrillers. She does not like sci-fi. She enjoys camping and hiking.

Choice C is a fiction novel that fits Harper’s interest in mysteries and thrillers: the explorers are searching for a missing treasure. Its wooded mountain setting also connects with her enjoyment of camping and hiking. Choice B includes a camping trip, but its alien abduction makes it science fiction, which Harper does not like.
