Novels help us explore new ideas and understand the world through stories. They teach us important skills like figuring out new words, understanding characters, and finding the main message of a story. By reading about different characters and their challenges, we learn how people change and grow, just like we do in real life. Novels also help us see things from different perspectives, making us more kind and thoughtful toward others. Most importantly, they make reading fun while helping us become better thinkers and problem solvers for the future!
