I created The Book Buddy when I was in 4th grade. I came up with the idea for the State Invention Convention while I was brainstorming ideas in class at school. After I began using The Book Buddy I came to rely on it every night for my own reading. I absolutely love using it! It makes reading more comfortable. My hands no longer hurt trying to hold the book. My eyes don't strain because The Book Buddy provides enough light. I easily record my reading minutes on the whiteboard with the dry erase pen for my school homework. I don't stay up too late reading because the clock is so visible. I love using my Book Buddy everyday, so I had to share this new found love with others.
