Top of the Heap!

Psst... here's a note to all of you... 



Monday's Riddle was a mystery in your mail box, and Lizzy's review of Regarding the Fountain by Kate Klise was told in a creative note. Friday, we can't wait to share our post with you, and Saturday, we are always excited to hear your thoughts on The DMS Wants to Know . Today, we thought we would spotlight two letters/notes that we would love to receive.

This week's top of the heap: Amazing letters/ notes from stories!

Lizzy: There are so many cool stories that have secret notes or interesting letters, but nothing tops getting into Hogwarts. Every morning, I still get up and look out the window, and, just for an instant, there's that little spark of hope that today will be the day that there's an owl waiting for me, carrying my acceptance letter to Hogwarts in its talons. ~ L






Fairday: Although I am right there with Lizzy on this one- and would be over the top excited if my owl from Hogwarts showed up- I also think that the automaton in Hugo Cabret is very magical and mysterious. Imagine having a mechanical man, poised to write you a secret message from your father. Now imagine that it's broken, and the only way to fix it is to muddle through your father's old notes. It's a great story, and the illustrations are wonderful. You will be on pins and needles waiting to see what the automaton has to say to Hugo! ~ F
