During the month of July, 2018, Scholastic Inc. held a summer reading road trip. A Scholastic RV(野营车) travelled to bookstores and libraries across the US with kids' favourite writers and characters(角色).

On July 12, the RV visited Jersey City. Young visitors got to read books and play fun games. Kids also took photos with their favourite characters such as Clifford the Big Red Dog. At a table outside a bookstore called Word, some writers talked to readers about their books. 

"It's relaxing to write books, but coming out and meeting the readers is so different and interesting, " said Gale Galligan, a writer.

"Meeting young readers, teachers and booksellers inspires me to keep writing. I will keep writing interesting books for kids. " said Joyce Wan.

For the workers of Scholastic Inc. , the road trip offers a chance to share love of reading with people around the country. "Kids are so excited to meet our writers, " said a worker. "They are really excited to meet the characters, too. I love seeing kids enjoy books in a really different way and learn that reading is fun. That's what our reading road trip is here to celebrate.
