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!

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.

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.

"Dear Mrs. Awad,

Thank you so much for coming to our school and giving us a free book.  Getting this was a great surprise.  Thank you for coming in and taking your time to talk to us.

I loved your details and artistry.  My favourite part was when they went to the house and heard the noise.  I loved how you made the characters names.  My favourite character was Dan because he was very brave.  Your book was very colourful and mysterious.  That is why I loved your book.

Thank you again for the book.  I loved it, thank you so much.  Hope you come again. I'm a big fan!

Sincerely,

Lauren

"Dear Mrs. Awad,

Thank you for giving me and my class the free book. I am grateful.  I have tread the book and it is the best adventure book I have ever read.

The reason I like the book is because it is colourful, mysterious, full of adventure, and has lots of characters I liked.

My favourite character in the book was Holly Hocks because she wears colourful clothes and likes to shop like me! My favourite part of the book was when the Greenhouse Kids find out that Virgina Creeper was one of them.

Thank you for the visit and taking time to come to see us.  Thanks again!

From,

Jordan

P.S. Best book ever!

"Dear Mrs. Awad,

Hello! I'm just writing to you because I wanted to say thank you for the visit at LaSalle Public School and the book. I'm very interested in the book so I'm thankful because I really don't buy a lot of books, but I have a lot of books. IT'S WEIRD!

I like to read a bit.  Sometimes a lot. But the funny part is I really read A LOT! But I tell people I don't like to read. I read magazines, books, I read on Facebook.  I read labels and everything! Sometimes I LOVE to read!

I love how all the characters are similar to a flower.  I also like how the bookmark goes with the book.  It inspires me to read. I also love how the illustrations have so much colour and detail. You put a lot of good work into this book.

Sincerely,

Sophie

"Dear Mrs. Awad,

Thank you for the book.  It is a very good book.  Also, thank you for the free bookmark, and thank you for the cake.

My favourite part was when Johnny was under the bed and he sneezed to scare the people away.  I really like the part when the Greenhouse Kids found 3 grave stones.  I like it because they think it is really scarey and also, it is mysterious.  I also like when you see all the plants.  I like that because the plants are the Greenhouse Kids names, and I like the talking lady bug.

I really liked the book it was a really good book, I liked it because there is lots of good parts.  Also, thank you for all the time you took for coming to our school.

Thank you very much for taking the time to come to our school and for presenting your book.  I also thank you for organizing a program specifically designed to get kids books.  I think it must have been difficult organizing the program but trust me, it was worth every second of it.

I'm really excited to read your book.  I liked the picture on the front very much.  Also I loved hot it's a mystery book.  I love mystery. In the presentation I thought it was cool how you made us guess how many times you edited your book.

Thank you very much again for the book and bookmark.  Best wishes to your new book to come out in the future.
