Hello Harriet,
March 5th, 2010 at 8:32 pmI bought your book ‘The Boy Who Fell Down Exit 43′ at the book fair at my school. I let my friends read the blurb. They all thought it was great! I showed my dad as well. He said, “The beginning is great. It really makes me want to read it!” I am on page 31 already. So far it is great! We have our books on our table to read at school. I asked my teacher if I could take it off the desk because it was too tempting to read while I was doing my Maths!

"Skye" Says:
Yes I Did Know. But I am Going To Have To Ask My School First Before We Let You Visit!
