Hello, my name is Alex Hilliard and I am 13

This is the greatest book I have ever read. It is also my fathers favorite book. You have created a novel that still is incredible despite being made in the 80’s. I first read this book when I was eight and my father still finds it hilarious at 54. Rudy Miller is the best character you have ever created and you made one book on him. You made seven bruno and boots books. You also gave bugs potter a sequel despite I want to go home being significantly better with a lot more potential for a sequel. (bugs potter is still a fantastic book) You ended the book with Rudy refusing to leave as he can’t admit that chip and the counselors kept him there. He tells Mike he will escape, give himself a point and return to try again. You ended it with Rudy saying “see you next year chip”.  It’s a crime against humanity how little you did with Rudy’s character. He deserved at least a trilogy or even more. I understand the book was a while ago but you are still writing books. I am sure you could find more for Rudy to do in his second or third years at camp. You have a massive catalog of books that you could draw inspiration from. Your greatest book had been set up for a sequel yet you let it sit. It is not too late. S

Sincerly,

Alex Hilliard
