When I clicked on the link, it didn't work. Short one "t".
 
Hope you don't mind, George.

I just wanted to  let everyone know that we had a one day visit to a school 
by Wendelin Van  Draanen
This was their  reward for participating in Exercise the Right to Read 
_www.exercisetherightoread.org_ (http://www.exercisetherightoread.org/) ,  the 
program Wendelin announced at the 2006 CSLA conference.  

Wendelin is a  fabulous presenter. She is so full of energy that several kids 
asked her if  she had coffee that morning "Why, do you think I'm hyper?" she 
responded. They  just nodded. One 5th grader told her teacher, "She's not like 
a normal  adult," with a big smile on her face.  The kids were spellbound, 
not  just by her personality, but by what she told them about writing and about  
running the NYC marathon. 
Her latest Sammy  Keyes book is a candidate for the Edgar Award for 
children's mysteries,  which will be her second Edgar. Her next book is called 
"Confessions of a  serial kisser," - I read a preview copy -- despite the title it has 
a lot of  depth.
