During Christmas break, Brody was beginning to act board, so Brian picked up a Boxcar Children book and told him to start reading it. Brody was hooked...He couldn't put it down. We gave him the first 12 books last Christmas (for me to read to him). Brian promised Brody a pocket knife if he completed the books, thinking it would take him awhile since these are 3rd grade reading level! We got him a reading light for his bed and some nights he will stay up until 10:30 reading (perks of homeschool). He finished all 12 books in 3 months:) We are so proud of him!
