leatherback turtles      Happy Monday! It was really cold here this morning. I wanted to snuggle in bed where it was nice and warm! But I wanted to get writing on my story because I'm having such fun with it. It has leatherback sea turtles in it. They are cool. Do you know they have been on the earth for about 100 million years!
     Ashwin, so great to hear from you. I love your Poseidon Doesn't Teach Swimming Classes idea. It's perfect because Liza isn't such a great swimmer, even though she learned a bit from a mermaid in Mermaids Don't Run Track.
     Shreeya, I did know that other countries put the day first when they write out the date, but I forgot! In the US we put today as 10-22-12, but some countries, like India, put 22-10-12. I wonder what else we do differently here?
     Mary, I would definitely want to be a friendly monster that could help people. When you asked that question the first thing that popped into my mind was angel, although I don't think of angels as monsters. I guess they qualify as 'creatures'. In fact, you gave me a name for a program that I'd like to start. How about Reading Angel for a charity that donates books to schools who don't have a library? What do you think? Do you have a library at your school? What monster would you be? Your monster buddy, Debbie

Shreeya, just think about December of this year. We'll have 12-12-12 because December is the 12th month. So it will be the 12th day of the 12th month in the year 2012! Kind of neat, Debbie

Dear Christina, I'm sorry about your test. It must have been really hard. I'd recommend you talking with your teacher about it. Sometimes teachers will let you retake tests or give you a chance to do extra credit. The most important thing is to learn the material, not how high the test score might be. A bad test score is not the end of the world, even though sometimes it feels like it. When you are my age, I bet you won't even remember it. Keep trying, Debbie

Hi Tina, I do Skype with schools for free. Perhaps your teacher or librarian would be interested. They can click here to learn more. Hope to 'see' you! ttyl, Debbie
