Casey froze.

The second-grader was at Book Harvest’s Books on Break event in June, filling his Books on Break string backpack with 10 books to take home to keep forever. He had already chosen nine of his 10 books, each painstakingly selected to fit his interests. A joke book, a dinosaur encyclopedia, a Batman graphic novel and a mystery had made the cut. 

Casey has one more book to choose….Will he choose a book for himself or one for a sibling?
