They love it. I sure wish other schools would leave comments for you. My students are gobbling up your other books. I'm amazed at how many books (Willow Award nominees or other) they have read this year. Lori Hi Liam,

I hope you learned a few tricks from it. Crunch was such a bully, I knew he had to get it in the end. Maybe he'll be nicer to Bounce and the gang from now on. What do you think? Hey Cashtyn,

I'm so happy my books are engaging reluctant readers and helping them succeed in school. Thanks so much for sharing that. It put a smile on my face. Lori – that is an amazing story!

He chose Power Play. He set a goal to have 30 pages read by this Wed. He exceeded his goal and he's almost finished the book and is really enjoying it. He even told his teacher that he had to read it during guided reading time because he had made a commitment. I am so proud of him. Just thought you might want to know. Your book is having an impact in so many ways. Hey Liam,

I'm having fun chatting with everyone and they've got some great insights into the book. Very glad they want to read more in the series.
