"My name is Angel and I am writing to thank you for taking time to read and tell us about yourself and giving us a signed copy of your book Ghost Walk. To be honest, I don't read much mystery stories but I still enjoyed your book because it's interesting. Something about me is that I also love to read and write stories. I even wrote a movie script called Falling Down. I've been planning to get an agent and actually release the books and movies I write. I would like to be you someday. A question I have for you is who inspires you to write the stories you write? I also have a suggestion and that is to maybe make your characters a little more funnier like make them jumpy, you know what I'm saying. Please write back. "

"Dear Shelley, Thank you for the book that you gave us. I am so looking forward to it. I enjoyed the presentation that you did for us. I really like the chapter books, especially Scooby Doo books.

" Dear Mrs. Awad We wisht o thank you for taking the time tio visit our school. We were happy to learn about your Greenhouse Kids series, and look forward to reading the next books in the collection. Will says that he is going to read Dan Delion's Secret right away, then get the next books in the series, and then read them all again! Many of us agree that editing is our least favourite part of writing, so we were surprised to learn that you edited your book eighty-five times! We learned from this that our own writing can always be improved. We were inspired by your niece's story. It shows that if we're willing to work hard enough, we can overcome any obstacle. After your visit, we had a few questions. When did you start writing? Do you think your writing inspired your niece to write? When we considred which genre your books are, we began to wonder what is your favourite genre? Thank you againf or presenting your wonderful books to our classes. You rock! Sincerely, Chloe, Gili, Doris, Andrea, Nicole, Ayah, Aya, Willy, Jason, Giorgio, Jack, Jaden, Shridula, Sioran, Gavin, Moousan, Dante, Tyler, Lynn, Sarah, Kolen, Mick, Ange, Lena, Sherier, Jessy "

"Dear Mrs. Awad, Hello, thanks for giving me the free book and the book mark. I liked the cover. My favourite kind of book is a book with colour. My favourite part of the book was the part you read, I have no idea what part it was. My second favourite part of the book was when the Greenhouse Kids discovered there was someone living in the house. My favourite character is Johnny Jump-Ups. I brought the book to the hospital when I broke my elbow. When I was bored I read the whole book. I'm happy you came to visit our school. I think some of the pictures are funny. From, Holden "

When I read the book I never knew there were plants called Holly Hocks, Johnny Jump-Ups, Fox Gloves, and Virginia Creeper but of course I knew a Dan Delion. My favourite part of the book was when Dan Delion found the greehouse. That was my favourite part because he found out about Lucinda the Ladybug.

" The following letter was sent to Mitch Awad, one of the sponsors of the Readers Grow Into Leaders Literacy Program at LaSalle Public School. Dear Mitch Awad, Hello, thanks for giving me the free book. I really liked it. Why did you spend money on me you don't even know me? Thank you, I was running out of books to read. Do you like Big Bang Theory? I do! I think it's the best show ever. I watch it all the time. If you haven't heard of it, the channel is A&E. Did you know that 11.11.11 only happens once every 100 years. You'd have to be old to be alive to see that twice. Thank you again for buying the book for me. Please write back. From, Holden "
