"One of the highlights of summer in Double Bay (Australia) was Lily, a cheerful nine-year-old who came for a quick blast of Seeing Stars. We introduced 'Matilda' to her in her final week. I was there when she read the part where Matilda finds out about her powers. The look on Lily's face? I'll never forget it. She didn't want to stop reading. Lucky me for seeing Lily discover the magic of reading."
