I LOVE BEING ON BOOK TOUR!

October 27, 2010 By Leslie

Week one of my tour was a blast! Thanks to everyone who came out to see me at Book Court, Hooray for Books, Children’s Book World, B&N and Politics & Prose.

I visited a bunch of schools while I was away and spoke to lots of energetic and inquisitive 4th and 5th graders. Here are some of my favorite questions (and comments) from the Q&A:

Do you ever get writer’s block?

How many people does it take to make a book?

What inspires you?

Are your characters based on real people?

Did you get to draw your cover?

My mom’s name is Leslie.

Are you rich?

I was going to buy your book last week but I was only allowed to buy three books that day.

I also sat a few seats away from a six-year-old and his dad before one reading and was lucky enough to overhear the following conversation:

Kid: Is she a famous writer?

Dad: I don’t know.

Kid (after glancing at me again): Well, she can’t be that famous. She doesn’t have a bodyguard.

Indeed!

Oh – and a three-year-old at Book Court asked me, “Why do you write?” Profound.

Next week I’ll be in Exton, PA and Kingston, NY. Specifics coming soon.
