I always love reading from a variety age, but the first book that I remember that really give me a love of reading was the big big se by Martin Waddell I used to love reading it with my mum and the illustrations were amazing. Jacqueline Wilson also holds very special place in my heart because she was the first author, I really loved

I loved reading since FOREVER, but I just used to read, because it was fun. I started visulising the books adter this one Micheal Murpurgo book (and if any of you know the title please please please tell me because I want to read it so bad.) It was like some freinds who went on this sort of ferry to an island that was a bit haunted and there was like a shadow man I think where they would see a tophat and red eyes glowing. I kid you not when I read that in year 3 I could genuninly see the tophat and the red eyes in my room and after that book I can visulise every singe book that I read. It hold such a speical place in my heart but I am gutted that I dont know the name.

Oh yeh I remember those books! Can it say I never read them through as I was a bit traumatised by the movie
the Famous Five books, Malory Towers series, and the Twins at St. Clares 
I remember also loving the Worst Witch as well
Does anyone remember the Rainbow Magic fairies and Horrid Henry books? (I think when I was little, I disappointed my Mum each time I withdrew one of them from the library!
)

I first found a love for reading in year 6, with the 13 series by Michelle Harrison. I actually read the last book- the 13 secrets- first so it was that book specifically.

I have been reading for agesss. I remember in primary we had to read a book from the library every two weeks and the books were coloured in 'reading levels', and I began reading the hardest ones in y3 when most people didn't until y5 or 6 lol. So I couldn't tell you exactly which book got me into reading.
BUT the School for good and evil series was definitely the one in y6 that made me want to call myself a reader! Then it was land of stories and Twilight. Basically I remember being obsessed with all three in y6 and ever since I haven't stopped buying books

I love Hetty feather! It was the first book that I actually felt like I was observing like it felt like I got really into it.
Oh my word, I remember the reading levels but it was like reading tables for us each tables was a different colour and it was like the high group and then there was a second group and then there was a medium group and then I think there was either two groups or one group. After that I can’t remember
The stories are so good, I didn’t read it until like a few yrs ago but very enjoyable
