Tom lived in a small town in England. He always stayed in England for holidays. But last year he thought, “I’ve never been outside this country. All my friends go to France and they like it very much, so this year I will go there, too.”

First he went to Paris, the capital of France, and stay in a small hotel for a few days. On the first morning he went out for a walk. In England people drive on the left, but in France they drive on the right, Tom forgot about this, and while he was crossing a busy street, a bicycle knocked him down.

Tom lay on the ground for a few seconds and then he sat up and said, “Where am I?”

An old man was selling maps at the side of the street, and he at once came to Tom and said. “Map of the city, sir”.

During the month of July, 2018, Scholastic Inc. held a summer reading road trip. A Scholastic RV(野营车) travelled to bookstores and libraries across the US with kids’ favourite writers and characters(角色).

On July 12, the RV visited Jersey City. Young visitors got to read books and play fun games. Kids also took photos with their favourite characters such as Clifford the Big Red Dog. At a table outside a bookstore called Word, some writers talked to readers about their books.

“It’s relaxing to write books, but coming out and meeting the readers is so different and interesting,” said Gale Galligan, a writer.

“Meeting young readers, teachers and booksellers inspires me to keep writing. I will keep writing interesting books for kids.” said Joyce Wan, another writer.

For the workers of Scholastic Inc., the road trip offers a chance to share love of reading with people around the country. “Kids are so excited to meet our writers,” said a worker. “They are really excited to meet the characters, too. I love seeing kids enjoy books in a really different way and learn that reading is fun. That’s what our reading road trip is here to celebrate.”
