There is a clever quote by a well-known author named James Patterson. Patterson said, “There's no such thing as a kid who hates reading. There are kids who love reading and kids who are reading the wrong books.”

This is absolutely true! If you are that kid (or adult) who thinks they don’t like to read, think again.

Discover what interests you and read it. If you like cartoon drawings or like playing video games, read a graphic novel or a comic book. This type of format uses art to tell a story. If you enjoy watching mystery movies or like to solve puzzles, try reading a mystery book. Who doesn’t love a good whodunnit? 

Diving into a book is a magical journey. You can be transported anywhere - aboard a pirate's ship, swimming with dolphins in the ocean, or speeding down a racetrack at 150 mph. You can help slay dragons, build a 10-foot sandcastle, or live in a medieval castle. And did you know that reading makes you creative? A writer paints a picture with his words while the reader uses their imagination to whisk them away to fascinating places all over the world. The more you exercise your imagination, the more creative you become.
