It's so wonderful to see young people enjoying books as we remember doing at that age. And wouldn't we have been excited but very shy I am sure to have met our favorite authors. Who knows you may have experienced this event with and inspired a budding author or two.

Especially when one mom told me her daughter prefers math to reading but she loved Blue and another mom said goodbye with tears in her eyes. I wanted to hug her and ask - What?

Kids would read a MG book and gather for group activities and discussion at the book store one night. He was in 2nd grade when we started. Sadly, at the end of his 3rd grade year, the book store had to close its doors, so we've had no book club. But this has inspired me. <BR/><BR/>And wow! As an author, to see those girls dive into your book and swim in all its emotion and characterization and everything else. You must be over the moon!<BR/><BR/>:-)Ghost Girl (aka, Mary Ann)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10104992485564788542noreply@blogger.com
