Philadelphia
More packed Lockwooding in Philadelphia on Thursday. First, off north over the Schuylkill River to Havertown - the snow was thinner here than Washington, but there was still ice on the sidewalks - and to Cardinal Foley school for a great chat with 5th and 8th graders. Then to Penn Valley Elementary School, where I met 250 fine students from 4th and 5th grades. The events were set up by the lovely folks at Children’s Book World in Haverford, where I did my evening’s event, during which some of the audience gave me some great ideas for Lockwood 3. As a reward at the end, they showed me down into the extremely spooky cellars beneath the store, which reminded me of the time years ago when I genuinely got locked in the pitch-black basement of a massive bookshop. And was only freed by a passing town crier. But that’s another story….
