meet little bin Little ben is six foot one pretty
- 00:12
tall for a ninth grader He earned his nickname little

us wrong Obviously we love that he's in the literature
- 00:23
although we do wish he'd pick up a dickens once
- 00:25
in a while rather than trying to power through the
- 00:27
entire james patterson move but well so no we're certainly
- 00:31
not judging him for being a bookworm but like everything
- 00:34
else in life it's about balance right Little bin has
- 00:37
a hard time ever pulling his head out of a
- 00:39
book long enough to realize there are people around him
- 00:41
Oh hello people He misses out on every conversation and
- 00:45
bonding experience on bus rides to and from school back
- 00:48
in elementary school Rather than kicking around a soccer ball
- 00:50
at recess and getting some exercise he'd sit alone against
- 00:53
a wall and get through another chapter and when his
- 00:55
entire class gets to go abroad and take an incredible
- 00:58
trip to england he's so caught up in the latest
- 01:00
Novel he's reading that he doesn't even notice when they
- 01:03
past big ben so sad that seems like a meeting
- 01:06
that was just destined to happen So little bin gets
- 01:08
left in the dust all his peers have been socializing
- 01:11
and forging strong friendships making connections that may well last
- 01:15
into their adult lives But not little been his closest
- 01:18
friend is his library card until one day when medium
- 01:22
sized brian the assistant librarian who is issuing him his
- 01:25
new library card breaks the ice by mentioning that he
- 01:28
really digs little ben's taste in books now that's the
- 01:31
way to get kids talking before long brian and better
- 01:34
talking laughing it up sharing their favorite moments from their
- 01:36
favorite books talking about their own story ideas they'd like
- 01:39
to flesh out one day authors they'd love to meet
- 01:41
you nadia and wouldn't you know it little been finally
- 01:44
had a friend sort of After all the only thing
- 01:46
they had connected on had been books but from there
- 01:48
it grew They started hanging out together Brian introduced bend
- 01:51
to the wonderful world of video games Then he introduced
- 01:54
him to his friends and suddenly ben was having a
- 01:57
high old time not reading at all he was finding
- 02:00
the joy in shooting hoops the driveway or going to
- 02:02
the movies or playing poker Not for money of course
- 02:05
that would be illegal Little bin still loved his little
- 02:08
books but well it was a healthier sort of love
- 02:10
not an obsession He realized that life could be so
- 02:13
much more fulfilling if you had some like minded folks
- 02:16
to share it with us If he ever did get
- 02:18
around to writing a book himself while it sure would
- 02:20
be nice to have some actual life experiences to draw
- 02:23
from not to mention someone he'd wanna dedicate it to
- 02:26
and his first five books sales Yep already in the 00:02:29.073 --> [endTime] bag
