So I was up late one night this summer with nothing to do and decided I should finally write Ann M. Martin a letter about my idea for a new Babysitter's Club Book with the girls all grown up, facing adult problems. Her original readers are all about my age, so it would be fun to see what happened to the girls.
Yesterday, I got a letter back!!!!!!!!!
And it wasn't just a form letter; it was written specifically to me!!!!!
She said she was flattered to hear that I recommend her books to my students.
She said she's not planning on writing a book about the girls as adults because her favorite age to write for is middle-grade. But then she said, "However, your letter was certainly persuasive- I loved your ideas- and I will give your suggestion some thought. (I can't make any promises, though!)"
Ann M. Martin loved MY ideas!!!!!
She also included a letter to my students and a bunch of bookmarks.
I am so excited.
And I really hope she writes the book!
