Dear Shreeya, India is a long way from Princeton, New Jersey! Hopefully someday I will get to visit India-maybe even your school! I'm so glad you think Wizards Don't Wear Graduation Gowns and Vampires Don't Wear Polka Dots are awesome. Actually, when Marica and I first wrote Vampire Don't Wear Polka Dots it had a different, much scarier ending. Our editor thought it was too scary and asked us to change it. Now, no one knows what happens to Eddie in the hall. Some people think Mrs. Jeepers sucked his blood and some people think she yelled at him. What do you think?
I don't live in Kentucky any more, but Marcia does. Actually we'll both be at the Kentucky Book Fair in November. It will be great to see her. Have an amazing week, Debbie

Hi Shreeya, good to hear from you! I'm glad you liked Genies Genies Don't Ride Bicycles Don't Ride Bicycles. It's my mom's favorite. Did you know that Vampires Don't Wear Polka Dots was my first book? I hope you'll like it! Have a great week. If you live near Princeton, NJ, hope to see you at the Princeton Library Children's Book Festival on Saturday, Debbie

Hi Ally, I think it's great that you are reading every day. My favorite time to read is right before I go to bed. In fact, I have trouble falling asleep if I haven't said my prayers and done some reading. I used to be a librarian and worked hard to find the perfect book for each student. It's hard to find one book that is right for everyone. It depends on what you like. Do you like sports, humor, mysteries, mermaids, or perhaps fantasy? If you don't know, you have to try different types of books out. Some you will like better than others. Of course, I'm always happy when some likes my books, but I know there are many different types of kid so we need many types of books! Have a great day off from school! ttyl, Debbie

Hi Tina. I just had a new book come out this week. It's A A Whale of a Tale Whale of a Tale, the third book in my new Mermaid Tales series. Kiki is scared of one thing-whales. So when her class gets to go on an ocean trip to see humpback whales she is terrified! I hope you'll like it and tell your librarian about my new series. Maybe she'll get it for your library. It's in hardback, paperback, and on Kindle. Have a great school year! ttyl, Debbie
