From My Mail

Here are some lines from yesterday's mail from kids that made me smile or touched me.



It's a great book because it has a great mix of humor, action, and uphills and downhills. --Rahul

I wish my mom was friends with you. --Kaya

When you were a kid, did you like math or spelling better? --Ethan

Do you like popcorn? Do you go to the movies ever? If you do, do you go to a teenage movie or a kids' movie? --Isabel

Rules helped me feel more comfortable around people who are a little different than me. --Leah

You did a good job of describing Catherine's character. I think if Catherine walked into a room, I could recognize her. --Nick

There are a lot of scenes that make me mad, angry, sad, overwhelmed, and some give me the warm and fuzzies. --Alisa

Catherine learns a lesson that even many adults don't know. Be yourself. --Allie

How was it like to win a Newbery Honor? I bet it was like living the dream! --Riya

When I first picked up your book I thought, "UGH, we have to read a book in class." I was kind of sad at some parts like when Catherine shouts at David. But when we were done with the book, I was really sad. --Amy

There are so many good, juicy sentences. --Rachel

I have a little brother and sometimes he embarrasses me, too, like when he got his hand stuck in a vending machine, and they had to call the fire department. --Jacqueline

I've got to say that Page 43 was a nice touch! --Mackenzie
