"The book series that turned me into a bookworm was the Fudge series ($40) by Judy Blume. My mom would read a chapter to me and my brother every night when I was about 6 years old. She would read them to us and do "voices," which I thought were the funniest things in the world. That series and my mom showed me the magic of how words on a page become an incredible story in your mind, and I've loved reading ever since!" — Charisandra Perez, Assistant Social and Partnerships Coordinator
