Peri's dad: Now Cleo, I'm going to set my old shoes right here. Don't you go chewing them up. I'd hate to have to go out and buy those new ones I've had my eyes on.
Up until third grade I was the worst reader in my class at school, I just wasn’t motivated to read anything. Then my family went on a two week vacation in our camper, the only reading materail we had with us was two Sad Sack comics (does anyone else remember Sad Sack?) and I was so bored by the time we got home that I grabbed the first book I could find and I’ve been reading ever since. In the last few weeks of third grade I went from the worst reading group in the class to the best, but it was so close to the end of the semester that my teacher had already signed me up for summer school reading classes.
