interlude

*a foto i stole from mary pearson of our encinitas

library panel! (l to r : barrie summy, me, laura preble,

marlene perez, and mary pearson.)

i went to a teen book club today

in solana beach, but it was middle grade

students! their school is right next to the

library and they brought their lunches over

and we had half an hour to talk about

Silver Phoenix. i always enjoy these visits

so much.

i guess i'm giddy when i meet actual
teen readers who LOVE to read. they are
just all so smart and cute...
