Dana loves to read." If you' re reading, you can be in your world and do almost anything you want," she says.
The Harry Potter books are her favorite. To Dana, all books have their own magic(魔力). She joined a book club at her school. One holiday, she did some research(调查) about books with her classmates. She learned that in richer places, each family had about 10 books. However, in poor places, there might be only one book for every 300 kids. Some kids never visited a library. She decided to change this.
At the age of thirteen, Dana started a club called Reading Heart to share her love of reading. People donated(捐赠) books to her club. Then Dana and her friends gave them out to kids in schools, hospitals in poor places. In four years, they gave away nearly 400,000 books!
After kids chose their books, they could keep the books. But when they finished reading, they shared them with a friend.
Dana thinks that sharing books is like building small libraries for each kid. She enjoys helping others find the magic of reading.
