“Your book is amazing! I love the book and I mean LOVE the book! It’s so cool. Captain Sharkley sounds tough and so does Tiger when he threw Red into the hall…..WOW…I hope you remember me –  I was so excited to meet you!”

 “I bought your book at my school, St. William the Abbot. I just finished it a week ago, and I wanted to tell you how much I really liked it, because I think they were really courageous to escape from Sharkley.  I think the book is really inspiring to people (like me) who want to write books. I was wondering if you were going write a sequel to WHALE ISLAND and the MYSTERIOUS BONES. If so, I know it’s going to be as good as this one!”
