Question

DeAngelo is selecting a fiction text for personal enjoyment. He is in eleventh grade and reads well; he loves biology, classical music, and biking.
Based on this information, which book(s) would be the best recommendation? Check all that apply.
a biography of composer Beethoven for adult readers
a graphic novel dealing with scientists fighting a pandemic
a collection of short stories about mountain biking
a young-adult mystery that features a cyclist who is also a detective
an autobiography of a German cyclist who won Olympic gold and bronze
a technical text on the development of the orchestra instruments

Answer 1

Selections:
- a graphic novel dealing with scientists fighting a pandemic
- a collection of short stories about mountain biking
- a young-adult mystery that features a cyclist who is also a detective

Reason: DeAngelo wants fiction and these three are fictional and match his interests (biology and scientists; biking; age-appropriate YA mystery). The biography, autobiography, and technical text are nonfiction, so they don’t fit the request for a fiction text.
