About this title

About the Author:

Beth Bacon loves to read and write-and laugh! She also enjoys hiking and traveling to new places. Beth earned an MFA in writing for Children and Young Adults from Vermont College of Fine Arts. Beth is the mom of Arthur and Henry Bacon and is thrilled to author this book with them.

Arthur Bacon was in the fourth grade when he wrote I Hate Reading. Back then, he liked to practice karate, build tree forts, and play computer games. These days he's in college, learning to create computer games. Today, he has to admit, he actually likes to read.

When he was in second grade, Henry Bacon found it quite a chore to read for 20 minutes every day, which was the rule at his elementary school. He wishes there were more books like this one-funny and realistic and not too hard to read. Henry enjoys swimming, telling jokes, and performing on stage.
