Did you know that one of the largest and most famous used bookstores in the world lives in Michigan?

The sellers left behind reminders that the notable author once called the building home.

If you were lucky enough to grow up reading Jonathan Rand's "Michigan Chillers" books, let's look at the real Michigan locations that inspired the stories.

When a child can connect with the protagonist in a story, they engage more with the text and become readers; not just literate, but people who enjoy, and seek out, reading as a hobby. On the flip side, when a child is reading a story featuring a character from a completely different background, they learn compassion and empathy, to put themselves in someone else's shoes.
