When reading starts to look old-school and thinking seems like the sport for poor and antisocial people, be conscious of your environment and circle of influence.

We are so delighted to see that young people’s voices will be central to the new Children’s Booker Prize! This is an incredibly exciting opportunity for children eight to 12, as the search begins to find young book-lovers to join the three adult judges. https://t.co/JLwyNXEoCa

Wish she could finish the Story. Context is key here.

read, read, read!!!
