My Top 5's blog

I became a book reader when I was in 3rd grade, and our teacher started a “book club” to get everyone excited about books and reading in general. I don’t quite remember the details, but I believe that she talked to all of the parents and passed the hat around to buy the first books for our class. The first book I was assigned to read was Treasure Island by Robert L. Stevenson, which was a perfect match for an 8-year-old boy with a wild imagination and thirst for adventures.
