Gord, you should know that I have a big problem with buying books and never finishing them. That’s what happened with THE SUPERTEACHER PROJECT. I read the first fifty pages (they were awesome) and figured I’d read the rest later. That was in January. Now, it is later. I just finished it, and no regrets. I really really enjoyed it! Gord, you write middle schoolers really well. It’s like you latched onto the essence of middle-grader-ness when you were twelve years old and never let go. Something I’d like to mention: I like how Rosalie thinks Nathan is just as bold as Oliver but he’s really not. I like how Steinke was incorporated. I don’t know what he actually contributed to the end plot (I think it was him who mentioned Darryl?) but I laughed so hard when I first saw “Steinke Newhouse”. You have no idea. THE SUPERTEACHER PROJECT was long. Longer than MIXED UP, but I think it was as long as MASTERMINDS: CRIMINAL DESTINY. One of them, at least. Anyway, I’m on a roll this week! I read MIXED UP yesterday, THE SUPERTEACHER PROJECT today–what’s next? I own a lot of your books (if roughly 1/3rd is a lot) so which one should I read tomorrow? I mainly have your old ones. The books I’m eyeing are This Can’t Be Happening at Macdonald Hall and No Coins, Please. Maybe even DON’T CARE HIGH. Dunno. I’d read A Semester in the Life of a Garbage Bag if I had it.

Be blessed,
Jade
