Check out this fabulous project that 7th grader Aki Joy did for her school’s literature fair:

Is it any wonder that she won FIRST PLACE?!  You’re a rock star, Aki Joy!  And you have a gorgeous smile!

(I’m honored to know that I’m your favorite author.)

This just in from Claire, one of you who was recently in PARIS!

“It was so much fun and I took WISH YOU WERE EYRE with me and tried to go where Megan went. We drank hot chocolate at Angelina’s and had ice cream at Berthillion and went to Laduree but I didn’t eat any macaroons. It was awesome!”

*sigh*  I’m trying not to be envious.  Oh to be in Paris right now … it’s supposed to be gorgeous in the Spring!  And how fun that my book inspired some of Claire’s jaunts around the city.  Do you know how cool it is for a writer to hear that? (Answer: Very Cool)

Claire also sent some artwork along.  Check it out:

I swear I have the most talented readers in the world.  I love this! Thank you, Claire.  :)

Happy weekend, everyone!

… is officially open for the season!
