“Really Touched Me”

Last week I talked about an e-mail from a student. Here is one I just received from another reader:

Dear Mrs. Bauer,

My name is Mia and I am 8 years old. I am home schooled. I found one of your

books at the library called The Very Little Princess and I loved it. When I was

reading the story, I wanted to go into the story. The very last lines really

touched me. I really hope to find other books you have written.

Maia’s response is particularly interesting given the nature of The Very Little Princess...
