The case of the missing books

I’ve always been a huge reader.

I don’t remember when I first learned how to read, but since I did, I’ve rarely been without a book somewhere near by.

As a girl, the arrival of the monthly Scholastic Book brochure was a highlight of the month. I remember eagerly reading about all the books available, choosing the ones I wanted and then trying to figure out how many of the books I could get for the dollar or two my parents would let me have.
