My earliest reading memory
A memory of being read to, rather than of reading. Every time I was off school sick, I’d ask Mum to read to me from the Ladybird Children’s Classic edition of Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island.
My favourite book growing up
I was the boy who was very much into the Goosebumps books of RL Stine, the Shivers books of MD Spenser, KA Applegate’s Animorphs series. All of them shared something of the ordinary moment of life made strange.
