Visualization and Mental Images 9/17

We've been thinking about creating pictures in our minds while we read.
Please practice this skill as you read for 20 minutes this evening.
Then, in the comment section write and tell me the title and the author of the book you read.
If it was a book that was easy for you to create mental images with while you read, please let us know... maybe your friends would like to read it too.
You can use my comment as an example.

    I am reading The Temple Of The Ruby Of Fire. When I was reading it, it reminded me of when I and my sister found a crystal rock. In this book Geronimo, Thea, Trap, and Benjamin are looking for the ruby of fire.
