Hang in there, and I just know you’ll find something.Terri Libenson (pronounced LEE-ben-son) is a New York Times best-selling children’s book author and award-winning cartoonist of the syndicated daily comic strip, The Pajama Diaries, which ran from 2006–2020. Just tell them what your interests are, and I’m sure they’ll be able to help you. So, try asking your parents or a librarian. Sometimes finding the perfect book on your own can be tough. If not, put it down and find something else. If it seems interesting, it’s a perfect fit! Then try reading the first page and skip around a bit. What the book shows on its cover should grab your attention. The old saying is to NEVER do that.īut you CAN actually learn a lot about what the book will be about just by looking at its cover. Hey, in my opinion, you’re NEVER too old for a book with pictures in it.Īnd lastly, although it’s somewhat unusual, you should definitely judge a book by its cover!

If that describes you, I highly recommend graphic novels like Smile, The Babysitters Club, Invisible Emmie, Baby Mouse: Tales From The Locker, HiLo, and Dog Man. to Taylor Swift, I’m sure that there are a bunch of books out there just waiting to be found!įor some of us, pictures actually make the book more amusing, especially if you’re an artist like my friend, Nikki Maxwell, or into comic books like my friend, Max Crumbly. Maybe you like books about interesting people or celebrities. If you’re into fairytales with a wacky twist, read Whatever After, by Sarah Mlynowski.

Like if you’re into wizards and magic, read JK Rowling’s Harry Potter. Or, if you don’t want a book containing lots of facts, find a story that sounds interesting. Plus, I’m sure that you’ll find out a bunch of cool facts! Because you’re already interested in the subject, the reading should be a lot easier to get through. So, for example, if you really like skateboarding, try finding some books on skateboarding. Because if there’s no interest, then it’s like you’re forcing yourself to read the book.Īnd anytime anything is forced, odds are that you just won’t enjoy it. It’s an awesome way to make reading more fun. So, my best advice is to try finding a book that’s about stuff you’re into. I’m sure that lots of books have some boring parts, but great books have stuff that keep you interested (like Dork Diaries 😀 )! But, whenever YOU have the freedom to pick the book, it should be enjoyable and it shouldn’t be something that you have to think too hard about. It’s one thing for your teacher to make you read a book you don’t really like.
