How Much These Books Have Meant to Me

Question:

I just wanted to commend you on your excellent Alice series. I originally read them when I was in middle school/early high school – I think, it’s hard to remember :),  and I was always struck by their inspirational messages and especially how funny they were! I am re-reading them now, at age 23, just sentimentally, you know, and I just wanted to write you and tell you how much these books have meant to me. My little sister is going on nine and I can’t wait to give her this series. These books are so wonderful and perfect for any growing girl.

I appreciate your email so much.  I hope your little sister enjoys the books as much as you have!
