Thanks for the list of books.  I teach school at a prison in CA and I'm
always looking for high interest, low reading level books for adult males.

Hi there,

I have never used these books with learners but I have enjoyed reading them
myself. Here is the blurb and the link to the Grassroots Press page where I
ordered my copies.

Open Door Series - New Island
Welcome to New Island's Open Door Series: brilliant short novels from the
cream of Irish writers. This innovative collective of acclaimed novellas are
specially written for adults with low-literacy skills by writers as diverse
as Maeve Binchy, Roddy Doyle, and Marian Keyes. Students will find it
difficult to put these books down, as they engage with the riveting plots
and interesting characters.
