This would have been my life if I had been a reader growing up.
Reading/books was not encouraged at all in my home growing up. These books I'm currently reading were collected with this weird idea by my parents that if we had books in the house, period, my brother and I would somehow read them ... even though it was never encouraged.
Like this book, staying out of your parents' hair/way was more encouraged than anything. The boy in this story only learns about the joys of reading because he had an awesome teacher that encouraged it and he found a subject matter that truly interested and engaged him. (I eventually found that myself in the Babysitter Club books around 5th grade).
If I had known about this book while growing up, I would have been blown away to know that there were, or might very well be, other families just like mine -- where you were just an annoyance under foot, or at least treated that way much of the time.
Fascinating read!
