Gregor the Overlander by Suzanne Collins was the first book I read without being forced. I had read books before this but I never really enjoyed it, because I was forced to read by my teachers and my parents. My entire family had loved the series Gregor the Overlander but when they tried to get me to read it I didn’t like; however, that was second grade. When I went back to the book in the summer before sixth grade, I actually enjoyed the book. I would read Gregor the Overlander without being asked to, and I breezed through the series in only a few days. While I can’t say for sure if I would enjoy it as much now, it was my favorite book at the time. My family was ecstatic when they heard I enjoyed the book; however, the book was more for me. It was the first book I read that drew me in to read more, it stirred my interest in books, which led to me reading over 100 books that summer. Which is why the Gregor series is so important to me. As reading is a big part of my life now, and an important skill that makes school a little easier. Especially because now that I like to read.
