When I work on a book, I imagine meeting up with the characters, laughing with them over funny jokes and being in awe when shown around their world. My mind gets to go on the wildest adventures! I hope you also will be having fun imagining when reading the nominated books of this year's Rain Forest of Reading. Happy adventures!
