Welcome to the Guestbook!

I’m always eager to read your comments about my books and stories, so please feel free to pitch in. Here are a few things for you to know:

1) I answer the messages here personally.

2) No message shows up here until I actually answer it to prevent spam and other inappropriate postings. So there will sometimes be a delay before your message posts, especially if I am traveling.

3) Teachers, a gentle request: Please do not have multiple children send me variants of the same message. A group email is much easier to respond to and not such a drain on my time. My thanks in advance for being alert to this.

I'm 27. I've been looking through a lot of the books I read as a kid and realizing that most of my favorites and the ones I remember the best were written by you. You were clearly one of my favorite authors and I didn't even realize it. 🙂 I think your books just had all the most intriguing titles and themes, so I kept picking them up! I just reread "I Left my Sneakers in Dimension X", what a great book! I'll be sure to introduce your stories to the kids in my life. I can't wait to read them, for my own enjoyment as much as the young ears I'll be reading them to.

Hi, Haley -

Many thanks for this message. Lately I've had several messages from adults who read me when they were kids, and they're really filling my heart with joy. To reach young readers, to have them love the books, was my dream. To have the books be remembered this way was almost beyond expectation. Many thanks for letting me know that the stories meant so much to you.

All best,

BC
