Bennett’s Booktime 

Hi! I’m Bennett Lingerfelt, and I’m 10 years old. I love reading and going on adventures—especially the kind you find in books! When I’m not reading, I like building cool things with my Legos, taking care of my chickens, going on fun adventures, and helping at church with my family.

Books have always been one of my favorite things because they let me imagine new worlds and exciting stories. Some books make me feel like I’m solving mysteries, others take me to magical places, and some are just really fun to read. Every time I open a book, it feels like starting a new adventure!

These are some of my favorite books that I think you’ll love too. They helped me enjoy reading and made me want to keep turning pages. I picked these books because they’re not just fun—they helped me love reading more and more. If you try any of them, I hope you enjoy them as much as I did! Happy reading!
