10 book series every kid should read before they turn into teenagers!!

Are you aware of the fact that increasing the amount of reading by just, 6 minutes a day can bring about a great change in the grades of young children? 

A paper from the university of California, Berkeley reported that children's books expose kids to 50% more words than prime time TV, but once kids start enjoying reading, then there is no stopping them!

It can be really tiring to select good books which will keep a young brain engaged! I always remember complaining as a kid, that I was very bored, as I had "nothing left to read"!!

If you are a kid, or if you know such a kid, hop on, this post is just for you!!
