Scholastic BookFiles is a unique series of study guides, created with input from teachers and the authors themselves. Each guide contains only a brief summary of the plot — and is designed to enrich readers' experiences with background information, book-related activities, and thought-provoking questions. Authors love Scholastic BookFiles — they are pleased to see a single, child-friendly volume that helps round out readers' experiences with their works.

Jean Craighead George, author of Julie of the Wolves and My Side of the Mountain, says, "I do get inquiries by e-mail, snail mail, and phone about where teacher's guides and information about my books can be obtained, and requests that I chat with students on e-mail. The e-mail is overwhelming. It would be wonderful to refer them to your series."
