“This is the book I have to thank for becoming a bookworm.
At age eight or nine, in third grade, I picked up this book for the first time and then simply could not put it down. I have a distinct memory of being on a trip to New York City and almost being lost and abandoned because I was literally reading while walking down the street. I just couldn't get enough. Wise choice? Probably not. But definitely worth it.
So, when I saw that my library had copies of it on Libby, I knew I had to give it a reread. Was I as entranced as I was 18 years ago? Definitely not. But this book will forever have a special place in my heart for gifting me my love of reading.”
