She’s perhaps the only person in the world with her own action doll who’s not a flying superhero or a Barbie. Nancy Pearl has harnessed her passion for reading to inspire hundreds of thousands of Americans to delve into books. She’ll talk to Angela Catterns of 702 ABC Sydney about reading, her favourite books, riding bikes, Seattle and, of course, that action doll!
