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 absolutely loved your books as a kid! I was just thinking about you because I am writing an essay about how much reading has touched my life. I am going to school to become a middle/high school English teacher (It's hard to decide-they are both so great) and I have always thought that your My Teacher is an Alien series was a big influence on that decision. I'm not an alien, no matter how much I wish I was, but I LOVED that series. It was from those books that I learned more about the world and the environment and when I first started really wanting to become a teacher.
Anyway, I just thought that since I was here I would let you know how great I think you are and to say thanks for all the great books that helped me through my childhood!

Dear Sherri -
Oh, thank you for this message, which went straight to my heart. I can't think of any higher compliment than the idea that the MY TEACHER books helped influence your decision to become a teacher. I loved being a teacher. I hope you will, too.
Wishing you much joy in your future,
BC
