> Our Mission At Fantasy Book Club, we’re on a mission to help every child fall in love with reading—blending AI, neuroscience, and social learning to spark curiosity, foster growth, and build lifelong confidence. > Our Story In 2020, our lives changed forever when a bright-eyed seven-year-old boy entered our lives through the foster care system. Despite being about two years behind in his reading level, his spirit was unshakeable, his smile infectious, and his potential limitless. With a Ph.D. in neuroscience and a background in AI strategy, I began thinking about how we could transform the challenge of reading into an engaging adventure. Research showed that children, especially those with ADHD, often learn better through social interaction and teaching others rather than traditional testing methods. We watched in amazement as his reading skills began to flourish through this approach. At age 10, he's not just catching up in reading – he's soaring. His progress inspired the creation of this interactive reading companion, designed to help other children discover the magic of books through connection and conversation. > Supporting Foster Families As a family that has experienced the transformative power of foster care and adoption, we want to make Fantasy Book Club accessible to all foster families. We currently partner with America's Kids Belong to make this platform free for all foster families.
