What's been happening:
1. I took a vacation with my family. Despite plane delays, it was a great vacation.
2. I wrote a speech. It's 99% done.
3. I've visited schools, celebrated friends' new books, written a lot of email, and filed my taxes.
4. I haven't been working on the new book. That's the plan for this week.

I am a middle school English teacher and reading specialist at Germantown Academy in Fort Washington, PA. I picked up your book at the ALAN Conference in Philadelphia, but I didn't get to hear you speak since I was on the Local Committee and was working at the table outside of the meeting room. The minute I finished reading, When You Reach Me, I recommended that my department add it to our curriculum, and we did. I noticed that you do author visits. Would you consider coming to our school in the fall? We'd love to have you. It would be a great experience for students and our teachers as well. Thank you for your consideration.
