What’s so dangerous about reading? Paper cuts?

Books are filled with ideas—ideas that will spark your imagination and get you thinking on your own. A wonderful book will take you places you could never go—the icy woods in The Chronicles of Narnia, a school almost too horrible for words in Matilda, underneath the four East River bridges in Soar, Elinor!, or in the driver’s seat in The Map Of Me.

Wonderful books will make you ask “what if?”

Some people think kids who ask questions are dangerous. I think asking questions—and discovering your own answers—is wonderful!
