Luke is 55 6/8 inches and the last book he read was “Fellowship of the Ring.”
How do we know this? The growing readers wall at BookHampton on Love Lane in Mattituck.
What a truly great idea to link the growing child to the books they read. As kids read a book, they’re measured and the name of the book is added to the wall along with their name.
So what books are kids between the heights of 53 and 69 inches reading?
Here are just some of the recent entries — the wall goes even lower — and a link to an online book order form from BookHampton.
53 — “Ruby Holler”
54 — “Secrets of Droon”
55 — “Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life”
56 — “Harry Potter”
57 — “From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler”
66 — “This Moose Belongs to Me”
68 — ‘Confessions of a Sociopath”
69 — “Catcher in the Rye”
