Cypress Lake Middle School Skype
This morning I Skyped with about twenty wonderful 7th graders from Cypress Lake Middle School in Ft. Myers, Florida to answer questions about “Peak.” Thei
r librarian, Dana Thomas is an old friend and a recipient of the 2009 I Love My Librarian Award sponsored by the ALA, New York Times, and the Carnegie Corp. of New York. Congratulations Dana! You deserve it.
Afterward, I put my feet up and spent the rest of the day working on “Beneath.” I hope to have it finished by the end of this week.

On behalf of the students of Cypress
Lake Middle, and their fantastic social
studies teachers, Mrs. Sparkes and Mrs. Voyer, I’d like to thank you for making
our first author Skype a memorable one.
As always, our students loved talking
with you. I believe you answered every
question we had about the writing of “Peak” and much, much more! Now about
that conversation we had about hurricanes today. . .we are available to share our own personal experiences with you for your next book. Always willing to help one of our favorite authors! Thanks again for making the reading of “Peak” a special literacy experience for our students. You’re the best!

Thank you Dana! I will certainly keep y’all in mind hurricane expertise.
I want to echo Dana’s sentiments about yesterday’s SKYPE chat with you. My kids are SO excited to have had the chance to speak with you. I have at least 2 that are already carrying around Moleskines!
They are very Jazzed about the idea that you may visit us next year, so I certainly hope that becomes a reality.
Best regards,
Jeannine Sparkes and her 7th grade students at Cypress Lake Middle School
Very cool to hear that some students are carrying around Moleskines!
