Journeys: Young Readers’ letters to Authors Who Changed Their Lives

Edited by Catherine Gourley

This book was definitely the book for book lovers. If you have ever had a book change your life, then you would love to hear about how books have changed others’ lives. This book features kids from elementary age and up writing to authors of books that changed their lives. It was very interesting and gives the reader some good insight to what other people get out of specific books. For me, I liked reading about books that I have read and seeing how it they were interpreted by someone else. I also liked reading about the books I haven’t read, because it made me want to read them. Overall, very interesting and wonderful book.
