Gotta say, as a high school teacher who has to go to the cafeteria to get kids food for the alternative class, lunch ladies are the best. Always super helpful and positive.

Hello! I just wanted to let you know that your book, 145th Street, helped tons of my students. My first two years teaching I had the alternative class for the "bad kids," most of whom had never completed a book before. I used your book to get them into reading. Some of the toughest kids I'd ever seen would not only read your stories, but then draw pictures of them so that it could make it on what we called the awesome wall.

145th Street helped me convince kids that reading books isn't something to be ashamed of, that there are books out there that reflect what they go through.
