"Our students and teachers
cannot stop talking about your visit. All are in
agreement that you're the best author ever to come to the
school. In the days since you were here, we've had
students who came to the lab just to visit your web
site. Others have come to check out your books and just
to talk about writing some of their own experiences. You
have sparked so much interest here, with students and teachers
alike. We have also noticed students performing genuine
acts of kindness for other students since you were here."

"Meeting you was a joy and
an inspiration. Your talk at Collister crept like
morning glory into so many children's hearts, for all
different reasons. Your presentation spoke not only to
the children. The staff were moved by your words as
well. Thank you more than you know. Our bullies
heard you, our "victims" and "failures"
heard you, and our struggling learners heard you."

"My students and I read your
book, Rescue John McGuire together in class. It
was one of the most enjoyable and exciting books I've ever
shared with a class. Your characters do come alive for
the readers. We loved the characters and the
story."

empathetic, caring, honest and personable are a few adjectives

"You did a fine job of working with large groups of
children! Parents came to me very impressed because their
children came home wit your message of 'It's OK to be
different because that is what makes you special'. What
a great message and how well it was received."
