Moderated by Wendy Lamb.
Hope to see you there! even if it rains.

Sorry, but I don't live in Brooklyn! I'm not going to give out where I live though, cuz that wouldn't be safe. I would definitely come, though, if I did live there! You are no doubt one of my favorite authors and that is never going to change. Someday soon, I plan to read First Light. See, right now, I'm on a book hunt. I've never worked this hard finding the good middle-school level books before. 'Til I read First Light, I'll never stop wanting to read more from you.
PS Have you read HOLES, WALK TWO MOONS, CHAINS, or THE MYSTERIOUS BENEDICT SOCIETY? All great MG books!
my class read your book over summer reading! we are now having literature circles and any post you can give me (advice, ect) that would be surepb! i hope you can write back so that i can show my class! thank you
