Lunch at the Wildcat Cafe
Librarian Tom Michael invited me to travel to Windsor, Virginia to attend a lunchtime meeting of the Wildcat Cafe, a reading program in Windsor Middle School. A group of sixth graders had read Divided Loyalties and they would be discussing it at a special colonial lunch complete with Brunswick stew, ham biscuits and ginger cookies. Of course, I was delighted to attend. What could be nicer than meeting a group of readers who had read a book that I had written.

It is great meeting readers! Thanks for inviting me to your school.
