A British teenager who was bullied for starting an Instagram account to review books has found himself with something every social media user craves: hundreds of thousands of followers, CNN reports. Callum Manning can thank his sister and her tweet about the perils of bullying for his sudden Instagram fame.
Callum, 13, loves books. And a few months ago he had the idea to use Instagram not to show photos of his food, his outfits, or his travels, like so many users of the social media platform do. Instead, he decided to use it to show photos of books, and to provide a review.
His first-ever post, back on February 23, was a review of Stephen King’s 1977 novel The Shining.
“This book was the first book I read in 1 day,” he wrote.
Other book reviews followed: Caroline Kepnes’ You, followed by J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, followed by Stephen King’s It, and so on.
