I would have to add Redbrick to this list. They are lovely, interesting nonfiction text and simply loaded with text features. Pearson has a brand new series and the name is escaping me. My former school district is adding this series to their bookrooms upon my recommendation. What appealed to me about this series was that the lower leveled readers had a very sophisticated feel to them, making them ideal for older, struggling readers.
