Student poems

I love getting mail from readers. It is the best part of being an author to imagine my book touched anyone enough for them to take the time to tell me about it.

This latest package I received has to be shared!

Not only did these elementary students from Massachusetts send me some fantastic ideas for a sequel (sadly, there will not be a sequel guys, ICE DOGS is a stand alone) but they also sent me these amazing POEMS

I have their permission to post these on my blog. Enjoy!

this is just to say I have burned the map that you gave to me
and you were probably trying to get us home
forgive me
 I am very clumsy boy and so foolish

My team

So much depends upon
My muscular dogs
Dorset, Blue, Drift, Gazzo, Whistler, and don’t forget Bean
Carrying me in the sled running rapidly
Bean By: Sofia
from the point of view of Vicky
so much depends upon,Bean the ice dog, in the wilderness, guiding me home
this is just to sayi need food and i wanted to hurt your dog but when i got on the trail
 you threw your snow shoe at me

and i ran and your dogs chased me and i hurt one of your leaders bean
