Since I was a little girl, I've always loved reading. My mum don't frequently bring me to the library, but I was fascinated with the world books had to offer. Like almost everyone I know, books are a form of escape from our mundane but sometimes harsh reality. I'd have to say one of the books that impacted me the most as a little kid was Malory Towers series by Enid Blyton. It follows Darrell, a girl entering an all-girls boarding school(love this context!) in the countryside of England and her adventures with her friends. It really did feed my imagination and lust for the countryside and dreams of studying in a boarding school. I still have the books, all tattered but loved.
From what I know, there are new series based on the book, now written by Pamela Cox. Now, it follows Darrell's sister, who enters the same boarding school and having her own adventures. I have not read it yet, but I'm definitely getting my hands on them soon.
Ever since reading Malory Towers, I just wanted to read more and more and more. They really hold a special in my heart and I cannot describe it enough. These books were the seeds that planted my love for reading. If you want to encourage little girls(or even boys!) into reading, you may want to try this series because I promise you, even adults will love it.
