youngwizards_dwSo, today I have a bit of an inspirational story in regards to the Young Wizards series.
I'm in a biology class at my community college, and there's people of all different ages there. I've started talking to this one woman who's very friendly towards me, and she has... two kids, I think. One of the kids is a boy, and he doesn't like to read. He had to do a book report, and he picked out this massive Star Wars book that was way too many pages for him, and his mother had to force him to read it.
Now, I was chatting with this woman, and she told me the sort of stuff he does like to read (in terms of manga and stuff like that). And I thought about it for a moment, and then I recommended the Young Wizards books.
This was last week.
They picked up the first three books in the series, and apparently he's now about 3/4ths of the way through the first book and won't stop reading them.
This makes me incredibly happy. ♥
