This one is very dear to my heart and I'm thrilled to be headed back to Taholah School to celebrate the book with my former 5th graders for whom I wrote the book. Many of them have kids of their own at the grade school now. And here's the cool thing! Random House sent me 9 boxes of books to give to the students in Taholah to thank them for all their help with the book.
