I have always loved reading books for children and young adults, particularly when those books are mysteries.

There are many little ways to enlarge your child's world. Love of books is the best of all.

For a lot of kids, reading is not magical. It's really hard work.

I remember vividly what it's like to read as a 10-year-old - that passionate inhabiting of a book.

I'm just trying to get kids motivated to be readers by connecting them with a book they like.

Any book that helps a child to form a habit of reading, to make reading one of his deep and continuing needs, is good for him.

I read a whole lot as a child, and, of course, I still read children's books.

I still feel, as I did when I was six or seven, that books are simply the best way to experience a story.

My writing works best when I remember that bookish child who adored reading and gear the work toward him.

Every book is a children's book if the kid can read!
