Ooh. I read those too. When I was fifteen, my family took a trip to Prince Edward Island, where I explored Green Gables and bought the last book of the 'Anne' series to complete my reading journey of her life. Lucy Maud Montgomery is a favorite author.

I loved Babysitter's Club, but my teacher would read The BFG to us after lunch, and that's when I fell in love with reading!

My mom read is the box car children at bed each night. And for the speech competition in first grade I memorized Little Orphan Annie by James Whitcomb Riley. I fell out of love with ready for many years as I was a struggling reader with dyslexia. Thank goodness I found it again as a young adult when I stumbled upon Eragon, written by a 13 year old! What an amazing gift that boy gave me.
