#HookedOnBooks
By SF Said
I asked the children's books community on Twitter to recommend books they'd seen turn kids into readers. I was flooded with replies and recommendations. From them, I put together this crowd-sourced list of children's books. It includes fiction, non-fiction, poetry, picture books, illustrated books, and books with no illustration. The one thing they have in common is that they're all books that have got many kids reading, across all ages, genders and backgrounds - especially kids who found reading difficult before.
