Enjoying them a few decades later

Comment:

I’m mostly familiar with your Boys vs Girls series, though I’ve recently started on Alice and look forward to watching her grow up.

I discovered the Boys vs Girls as a teenager when working at an elementary school library. At the time, the last book or so wasn’t available yet so I’m particularly excited now to be in the process of re-reading the series outloud with my 9-year-old son. (He’s sad to hear, btw, that Caroline never made it to Broadway. I, however, find it hilarious and that Wally is the one who became a professional actor.)

Anyway, I just wanted to let you know how much we are enjoying them together. He’s never been so interested in a book series that I’ve read him and I’m having to force myself to not read ahead when he’s not around.

I know you’re busy with your other projects and that’s perfectly fine, but put us down as two more people who’d adore a reunion piece should you ever feel the inspiration (and time!) to do so.

Phyllis replied:

I’m sure the readers would enjoy that.  But I have the feeling that neither the boys nor the girls would be willing to get through a reunion without planning some devilish trick to play on each other, and then everything would be back to square one.  I’m so glad that you and your son are enjoying them together, however.
