Brendan Meyer is a young, accomplished Canadian actor with a vast imagination. You (or your kids) may know him as Adam Young in the popular series “Mr. Young”, as Mark Powell in a compelling episode of CSI, or Myles in the dystopian series “The 100”; but growing up he was simply known as a boy who loved to read, write, and adventure.
His book donation for this year’s A Good Book Drive almost comes as no surprise: Choose Your Own Adventure by R.A. Montgomery. Just as the title suggests, this popular book series - heralded for its early influence on games and online culture today - allows a young reader to choose the path of the story and arrive at different endings each time. Our talented upstart reports,“These books helped me to develop myself as a writer because I could see how the different choices affect the story line.”

A Good Book Drive is an annual book drive to bring stories to a new generation of readers, and support kids in need of new books. Running through the month of November, A Good Book Drive will be inspiring Vancouverites to purchase a new copy of their favorite kids’ book and deliver it to set locations throughout the city. At these drop off locations you can personalize your donation with a special bookplate, sharing the story of why that book is special to you. All books will be donated to this year’s book drive recipient, One to One: A Children’s Literacy Program. Share your favourite stories with A Good Book Drive onTwitter, Facebook and Instagram. |
