What Book Made You Love Reading?

An email from the New York Public Library asked, “What book made you love reading?"


“Why Have the Birds Stopped Singing?” by Zoa Sherburne.


I stumbled across her book when I was in the fifth grade, and even though the first 10 pages were missing, I was still engrossed.


I wrote a letter to Ms. Sherburne to tell her about the missing pages. SHE WROTE ME BACK and sent me an autographed copy of her book! I still have it and her letter.


So, what book made you love reading?
