I just finished a book that you might like. It is called Crazy Lady by Jane Leslie Conly. It is about a lady named Maxine. Maxine has a son named Ronald who has very special needs. Ronald meets a boy named Vernon who is part of the crew who calls Maxine ''Crazy Lady.'' Maxine is always in a hot temper and is very drunk. She gets stuck in jail for being drunk and disorderly.

I like the first book of Kaya. It was very good. I even did a book report on it and I wrote about Janet Shaw --- she's a great writer. I would like to get the rest of the books, but my family is on a budget. We just moved in our new house but it doesn't feel like home yet. Thank you for letting me write to you. I guess I could save up my money to get the rest of the books.

I have been on your website plenty of times. The thing I like most about your website is that you can send your favorite author some mail. I have done it before. I have sent one to Mark Brown and Judy Blume, telling them I like their story and telling them my favorite book that I have read of theirs so far. Mark Brown has sent me mail back. Also I am going to write him again tomorrow. Judy Blume should be sending me some mail back again.

I write stories and share them with my class and my teacher, and mom said to me "You need to publish your books. You are very talented. You're born with a gift." My class loves them all! They say, "When's your next book?" So I think I'll be a writer.

Dr. Seuss is my favorite author. He writes cool books. He is my only favorite author.

I like all kinds of books but my favorite books are Gertrude Chandler Warner books with Benny, Violet, Henry and Jessie, and of course their grandfather, James Henry Alden. I read 16 of the Boxcar Children books.

I saw the 2nd Harry Potter movie and it was greater than the first one. And I liked the part when Ron spit out slugs.

I am writing to you about a book called Touching Spirit Bear by Ben Mikaelsen. I think this book is amazing. I really like Chapters 17-21, because in those chapters it talks about Cole Mathews changing the way he lives, like he changes his attitude by clearing his mind in cold water until he gets numb and how he imagines that all his problems are rolling away by rolling a rock down a big hill.

The Chamber of Secrets is so cool. Harry, Ron and Hermione were the coolest.

I love to read! My favorite authors are Dr. Seuss and Judy Blume. I heard about you while I was looking for info about Dr. Seuss for my research report. I like your website and everything but I think it would be great if you sent out things to schools, I don't know if you already do. Like I know my school would love it if you could send out newsletters and info on authors and maybe a game thing on the newsletters with a thing that was like Let Your Voice Be Heard.

I love Nancy Drew. She's cool. I'm up to the 3rd one. It's cool.

In school my class and I read a book called Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson. Maybe you can have this book on your website. I can speak for my class that this book is highly recommended.
