I am so happy that I was able to achieve my goal of reading 20 books. Although there was one book I didn’t update; The Ripple by Mandy Hubbard. It was really fun to read all these books and raise money for the underprivileged kids in India. I would like to thank all the people who donated to my page and I would also like to thank all my readers for being a part of my team. This was a really fun summer!! And just thinking of all the kids who will be getting a chance to read and write puts a huge smile on my face. Thanks!!!
