Gabrielle Henderson loves reading so much that in 2004, she decided to try to read 200 books by the end of that year.
When the 11-year-old homeschool student reached that goal well before the end of the year, her dad, Johnny, realized she could do more.
"I counted how many (books) she had already read," Mr. Henderson said, "and figured if she read about nine books every 15 days, she could read about 600 books in a year."
