Lori writes, “The book that made me a reader was A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle, read to our class by my 5th grade teacher, Mrs. Kennedy.  She wasn’t reading fast enough for me so I ran to the library for the book so I could find out sooner what would happen.  I am rarely without a book or two in progress since then!”

A new favorite is Julian is a Mermaid by Jessica Love.

Gina still loves Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls.

Emily loves and has kept her copy of Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day by Judith Viorst (Illustrated by Ray Cruz).

Sara writes, “My favorite book growing up was Matilda by Roald Dahl. I was a very active young reader, always with a book in my hand and I felt a connection with Matilda’s love for reading and the simplicity of what she wanted. I was very excited when they made that into a movie.”

Robin loves Unseen Magic by Emily Lloyd-Jones, which she calls a “charming mystery with Scooby-Doo vibes.” Read her full review.
