My Students are Inspired By You

Gordon,

I teach fourth grade in North Carolina.  I have used Restart for two years now as my book of choice for my AIG reading book club.  The different perspectives and points of view really challenge those higher level students.  This year, my students were beyond inspired by you.  After only a few chapters of Restart, they were hooked.  This sparked many to read other books by you such as, The Fort and Ungifted.  They wanted to write to you so we did!  I will be sending those to you in the mail.  We wanted you to know that your books have brought us closer together as readers, had us rolling with laughter (Leaf Man!), and inspired a lifelong love of reading.  Keep writing because you make reading enjoyable, suspenseful,  emotional, and assists me as an educator in teaching how to learn to love to read!

Gratefully,

Tavi
