My teacher

My teacher wrote this and she is an excellent writer. She is always trying to make us as good of a writer as she is. I've never read it but she has shown it to us and it seems great!

A review from an active student of the author

I have not actually had a chance to read this book, but my favorite teacher wrote it. She showed it to me and it is REALLY NEAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I even know some of the kids from my brother's band concert!!! The kids wrote letters to their favorite authors and the authors wrote back with a recipe and a letter! It is a really interesting piece of literature!!!
