When Will Lester Marry?

Question:

Before i began i would like to say i love every single alice book you have written. I am 14 turning 15 and i feel like alice is one of my best friends. I love all of her embarrassing moments because i feel like i am going through them with her. And i love Lester too! but i was wondering when Lester will marry the girl of his dreams? i loved when u made Lester date an african-american. I would really love it if lester would marry an ethiopian girl. ( i am ethiopian and i never read about ethiopian girls in books) lol i know that you will never make him marry an ethiopian but i think that would add more to the book……well wat do i know right. well i hope you never stop making alice books. if you are reading this thanks for taking the time to listen to what i have to say.

I appreciate all the emails I get from readers.  I really, truly do.  But if I used all the suggestions I receive, Lester would marry an Asian Ethiopian in a wheelchair, Alice would be diabetic, Alice’s stepmom would have a baby even though she’s had a hysterectomy, then she and Ben would adopt twins, somebody would win the lottery, and Pamela would become a model.  And those are only a few of the suggestions.  But I do thank you for writing to me!
