I thank you for the wonderful book that you told me.  It is amazing how you name the kids after a flower.  And I thank you for giving the school the book for us to read and discover.  I love the way you made the character Dan Delion.  Because Dan is kind of like me and because Dan loves collecting bugs and I like colecting bugs and study them.  Also thank you for lowering the price so I can get your first book.  I am almost done the first book.
 
I want to know what inspired you to write the book and why do you have the acharacters named after a flower?  I so enjjoyed the book talk but I want to know is there flowers named like that.  Could you maybe write back if you want.  I also want to ask you what kind of book is this.  Is it a non-fiction book or a real fiction book?  You can tell me that if you write back.  And also, you really inspired me that I can be who I am and I like the way I am and I am really happy that you stopped by and inspired me that I dont have to change.  I just need to be myself.

Thank you for donating the books.  I really LOVED the books.  I think that is the best book ever.  My favourite character is Holly Hocks.  She's just like me.  I'm very tall and I LOVE shopping.  I mostly like shopping for clothes.  My favourite part was when I found out Marigold was Virginia Creeper's cousin.  I loved that part.  Are you going to make book 4?  Did you always want to be an author?  When will book 3 be available?  How old were you when you wrote your first book?  I would LOVE to have book 2 and 3.  I hope one day I'll get to read them.
 
If I wanted to write a book what do I need to do?  I've ALWAYS| wanted to be an Author.  I've already started writing some books like The 3 Best Friends, Meany Jenny, The Haunted Hotel and The Mysterious Boy.  The one I've been working is the graveyard.  I hope you like reading it.

I'd like to thank you for giving us those wonderful books!  They were amazing.  My favourite character was Virginia Creeper.  My favourite character is Virginia because when I found out about Marigold Ivy Creeper.  I felt sad that she was Virginia's cousin and she died.  Also because Virginia wore all black because she was sad.  My favourite part was when Holly Hocks and Virginia Creeper became very close friends.
 
I'd also like to ask you in a question, Was a Virginia Creeper in your greenhhouse or did you search it up?  Once again I'd like to thank you for the book.

I really liked it when you let us keep the book for free.  Thank you very much for letting us keep the book and sharing some of the book with our class.  I felt very happy when you gave me the book.
 
My favourite character was Holly Hocks.  I really liked Holly Hocks because Holly Hocks is tall and she has sometings in common with me.  Some things that are common with me and Holly Hocks is that we both like to go shopping.  We like the same colour and that's pink.
 
My favourite part of the book was when Dan Delion won the race.  I liked that part because I think that Speedy Seedy has learned a lesson that braggers will not win because even though your good at something doesn't mean you are perfect.
 
I think you are going to be a very good author!

The books is have lots of colours.  What is your favourite?  My favourite part is the Ladybug was flying.  Thank yuou for the free books!  Are you going to make a new book of Greenhouse Kids.  The book is easy.  Everyone got a book you gave us!  Thank you very much.

Thanhk you for coming to our class and talking about the book and telling more of the secrets.  The best part is when you were reading the book for one class because it gave me an idea to give you an idea about an incredible snowman and I'm already thought of a new character.  His name is Ghost and all of the school calls him Wolf because he has sharp teeth and he wears a furry jacket.  Thats all I thought of now but I'm not sure but I want to ask you a question.  Are you going to make a fourth book?  And when you read this note send me a note telling me if you are going to make a fourth book.

Hi Shelley how are you?  My name is Allie and I am in grade 5.  Hopefully you will remember coming here!  I wonder how it feels like to be practically famous!  My mom says I write pretty good books but I think the absolute opposite.  We all really enjoyed you reading some parts to us.  You are a fantastic writer and reader!  I bet you have many friends.  I don't have too many just 5.  They are Jovana, Dania, Alaa, Sumeet and Lobna.  You'll probably get letters from them too.
 
I love how you don't have books with like 300 pages.  Just little books that will only take you a couple of days.  When you came to this school you inspired me to write more books.  I'm very thankful you came to my school.  I know you were only suppose to go to the grade 4's but still didn't forget about us grade 5's.  That was very nice of you!!  Do you write any other stories?  How long have you been writing?  Try to write back please!!
 
I would just like to thank you again for coming to my school.  We learned a lot.  I will never forget how kind you were.  If you can please write back.
 
Sincerely,

Hello Mrs. Shelley Awad, my name is Jovana and I am 10 years old.  Did you know that you saw my name like this Yovana but it is spelled with a J.  That's funny right.  I forgot to tell you that I'm in grade 5.  I have an older brother and he also makes mini story books just like you.
 
What made you want to write books and where did you come up with the characters names in your stories?  Also who is yuour best friend.  Is it the illustrator and if it is what's his/her name?  My best friend is Allie and if you didn't read her letter you have to it is amazing.
 
Thank you SOOOO MUCH for coming to my school.  Also my other friend Sherry is an amazing writer and drawer so if you need a new illustrator or need help with writing you can ask her.  Thank you again for coming.  I hope you come again.
 
P.S.  I love all your books.

Hello my name is Hope.  I am a big fan of your books because I like reading spooky things and suspense, because when Dan Delion found something, the book didn't tell us, so it made me want to read more.  When you visited my school, everyone was really excited.  We were all very happy you could come to my school.
 
We all thank you for coming to our school but I still have some questions.  Why or how did you choose the genre for your books?  Or, why did you decide to become a writer?  Did you always like writing, or did you like somethinhg else other than writing?  In the book, I like the part where Dan discovers a talking ladybug named Lucinda because that part surprised me.  (I love your books!)
 
Thank you again for coming and giving us bookmarks.  I hope to see you again and good luck with your writing!
 
Your luck wishing friend,

Hi, my name is Sonny and I am 9 years old and I am in grade 5.  Your books are so awesome.  When is your next book coming out.  If it comes out I'm gonna buy on the first day!  That's how much I love your books.
 
How did you get all these names for the characters?  You got the name by the flowers but why did you make the names like that?  Because I never heard a name like that those names are so creative.  When did you start writing books because I like to know!!
 
Thank you for coming to our school.  We really thank you!  So come next time.   We will be waiting.  So again thank you.

I would like to introduce myself.  My name is Devonte.  You visited our school and read some of your even though you weren't supposed to, but you did.  We say thank you, so that's what we are doing right now.
 
I really liked your first story.  You really explained your characters even without seeing them like Dan Delion's yellow spiky hair.  It was very how you made them looki like their flowers that they were named after.
 
When I saw your first book I knew that your second book was going to be better.  Except that secret that secret made the mystery but when I figure out the secret I noticed that it was on the front cover.  Hope you make more books.

Thank you for your kind heart by giving us all the good books.  You are really the best person to have bought all the books.  Today I just finished reading The Greenhouse Kids.  It is so good.  I just can't wait to read Dig Deep and Ghost Walk.  Your books are awsome, truly awsome.  Your book is so good that half the story is in the title.  Even without the story and just the title your storys are so hooking.  So I thank you so much Mrs. Awad.  In the story Greenhouse Kids my favourite character is Dan Delion.  I just love it when you put suspense in it.  You are very generous.  Please write back.
