Why Toby L’Estrange is making headlines

Toby is a child prodigy all of 10-years & can read up to 1,000 words per minute

Who?
A 10-year-old kid from Hertfordshire, UK.

What about him?
Toby could be the first person to review Harry Potter and The Cursed Child book. He aims to post his critique of Parts One and Two within three hours after its midnight release on Sunday.

A critique in three hours?
Yes. Toby is actually a child prodigy who can read up to 1,000 words per minute.

Say what?
Yeah. The schoolboy can read an average 400-page book in under two hours, using techniques he learnt from his grandmother Susan Norman, a speed reading expert.

What’s with the critique?
Toby has been challenged by Amazon to write the first review of the new story.

He will have the latest instalment delivered direct to his Amazon Kindle a minute after midnight and is expected to finish reading the 352-page tome in about one hour, 40 minutes.

One lucky kid!
You bet. A self-confessed superfan of the boy wizard, Toby had read all the Harry Potter books by the age of eight and can recite all the spells used in the stories.

Well, good luck to Toby.
Yes. 'Harry Potter and reading are my two favourite things so to be able to combine them is a dream-come-true. I have been practising loads on my Kindle and am confident I can be the fastest reviewer,' the kid said.

Not bad for a muggle!
Yeah. By the time you get your copy, Toby will be done with his review. Let’s just hope it’s spoiler-free.
