Book review by young fan

I keep all my fan letters and I try to answer every one of them. Why? Because it takes a lot of initiative and confidence and effort for kids to write me, and I salute that effort. It’s also flattering, of course. 🙂

Last week I got a special one, because the young reviewer (Isabella, age 9) even decorated the card she used for writing a review of my latest book, Paintball Island. She splattered the front of the card with all colors of paint, while also including her own artwork of paintballers (and a coyote!) running from tree to tree. Very creative!

Here’s her review:

“I liked the part where they all wore nightvision goggles. I liked the character Marie because she is very curious and clever. The story reminds me of the coyotes howling in my back yard. I still wonder if the coyotes will have their purple spots forever. Three words to describe the book: Mysterious, Fun! and Exciting.”

Thanks, Isabella. And anyone curious about why I included a deaf character in that novel, read this blog:

As for anyone else out there willing to write a review, if you’re willing, please do so on Amazon, Chapters and other online bookstores, please.
