I attended the Illinois Reading Council Annual Conference in Springfield on March 12-14. I had a wonderful time! Of course, I go to reading conferences to learn how to better support their reading endeavors, but I'll be honest: I also go to reading conferences for my own secret obsession with books! Let me tell you - I was in heaven at this conference.

While sitting in a session about new and notable books for young adults, the woman presenting the session held this book and up said, "Do you have students who simply hate reading? Students who simply refuse to read? Hand them this and tell them to read it." Boucher's little book is quite impressive as it presents students with reasons to love reading and things to do with books if you do not enjoy reading (tear them up, burn them, stand on them, etc.).

This is a fun read - enjoy!
