I was once a young reader…..now an audiobook narrator!

Hello Phyllis,

I came across your books as a 6th grader in 2002 and fell in love with Alice instantly! I read every book that my school libraries and local library had of the series! In my mind, Alice was another one of MY best friends. I told my friends about what happened in her books as if she WAS my real friend. She walked with me through many years of middle school and high school. I even coveted my best friend, whom had red hair! As an elementary school teacher, I kept many copies on my classroom shelves. After 9 years in the classroom, I am working as an audiobook narrator and voice actress! I believe that Alice IS A TIMELESS series! I want to be a part of reading and telling some of my most favorite stories so that readers today can listen! I would LOVE to read and bring some of the Alice books back to life! So here I am, a lifetime reader, turned narrator – obsessed with all things Alice! I thought I would shoot my shot and send a message! <3 Rachael

I really loved your  message, and think that many girls would enjoy hearing Alice’s voice, not just reading her words.  I have no idea how books get turned into audio books–I imagine it’s the original publisher who makes the decisions, but I think it’s a grand idea and hope you find a way to do it.  I gave a lecture recently on book banning, and read that hilarious dialogue between Alice (in 5th grade) and her dad (with her brother chiming in) as to how the sperm gets inside a woman, and it brought many laughs from the adult audience.
