Hello Gordon! I hope this email finds you well.

I am a member of the Indiana Read Aloud Committee and I wanted to reach out and let you know that your AMAZING book, Operation Do-Over, has been chosen for our 2023 Ageless Read Aloud list.

Each year, our committee reads any book that sounds like it would make a great read aloud. We have five different lists: Ageless, Primary, Upper Elementary, Middle Grade, and High School. Operation Do-Over was one of my favorite middle grade books that I read this year and I am so thrilled to have it on our list along with 9 other read alouds too good to miss. My son is a huge fan of your work and I love that you write books that are so relatable and accessible to a wide range of ages. I have been telling anyone who will listen to read your fantastic book.

Sincerely,

Brandy Graves, MLIS
