When we read books we seem to enter a new world. This new world can be similar to the one we are living in, or it can be very 41 . Some stories are told 42 they were true. Real people who live in a 43 world do real things; in other words, the stories are about people just like us doing what we do. Other stories, such as the Harry Potter books, are not 44 . They are characters and creatures that are very different from us and do things that would be 45 for us.
But there is more to books and writing than this. If we think about it, even realistic writing is only 46 . How can we tell the difference between what is real and what is not real?

In a way, we are writing the book, too.
Most of us probably don’t think about what is going on in our 58 when we are r eading. We pick up a book and lose 59 in a good story, eager to find out what will happen next. Knowing how we feel 60 we read can help us become better readers, and it will help us discover more about the real magic of books.
