Question: What was your gateway book—the book that made you want to read more—into reading or into a specific genre? (submitted by Meezan @ Caboodle of Cozie)

Answer: I struggled with reading through third grade. I remember lots of my third grade friends turning in book reports on chapter books and I was still struggling with some longer picture books. It wasn’t until the summer after third grade that reading clicked with me. Suddenly it wasn’t so hard and therefore it was actually enjoyable. I vividly remember picking up Harriet the Spy by Louise Fitzhugh and falling in love. I started carrying a notebook around so I could record observations about my neighbors. After that I read anything I could get my hands on!
