I haven't seen her since 2014 and have no idea where she is or what she's doing. She doesn't want to be found. I guess that makes her a "runaway" too. I miss her constantly. Feeling especially sad today, I reread 3 years-worth of her old blog/journal and came upon her post about your book...and how touched she was that you responded to her Ms. Leone letter in kind. I've just added Runaway to my reading list. Thank you for sharing this sweet moment about my sweet sister with the rest of us...

I don't think students often think to thank those people who helped them along, but they truly deserve thanks. YOU deserve thanks, for all your writing has done in the lives of those who've read it, mine included. So, thank you :).Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02622529052150223699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004974476643738026.post-38902850053747471022010-09-01T21:48:40.665-07:002010-09-01T21:48:40.665-07:00OMG!

My copy is falling apart because of all the people I've forced into borrowing it. Every single person gae it back telling me they cried through it while they read. I'm honestly not surprised that it helped that girl, at all, because with a book that good it's bound to happen sometime. :)<br />And the last SK will be in different point of views? That sounds e-p-i-c. I just wonder how it will be! These books seriously have a way to make me excited for the last one when even the 13th hasn't come out. <br />But my wait for WC is going perfectly fine now because I'm readig The Hunger Games series and I think I like it just as much as I like the SK series. Nawww, SK is still my favorite but The Hunger Games comes close. Peers reminds me f Casey so much, just the way they talk and act at times. And Katniss is indenial just like Sammy. :D Or, like Sammy WAS because she finally saw the light in CHC. <br />Haha and YES Runaway is truly amazing, I don't know where you get these ideas from but THEY ARE WORKING :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004974476643738026.post-36875585933337403362010-08-31T19:05:14.634-07:002010-08-31T19:05:14.634-07:00Wendelin, what a moving blog post.

I moved to a different school though. :( I was thinking, maybe after you're done with the Sammy Keyes series, you could write one book explaining some parts from Casey's POV? Just a suggestion. Or maybe from Heather's POV? It would be nice to see ideas from 2 sides, kinda like in Flipped.Optimistic4everhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04184887186486832879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004974476643738026.post-58557448715314663672010-08-30T10:45:49.946-07:002010-08-30T10:45:49.946-07:00That's amazing!
