My 10 year old discovered your books when he was 8, before that, he was a VERY reluctant reader. Since then, he has read each of your books at least twice, and he was among the first on the waiting list at the library for your last book. He was also the fourth in line when your Hard Luck van visited, to make sure to get a picture! Your books were the diving board he needed to dive into reading. Thank you Mr. Kinney!!
