Dear Mrs. Green and class, did you know I did my student teaching at your school? I split my time there between fourth grade and kindergarten. My mom actually lives very close to your school. My younger brother lives in Evansville and my older brother owns Thomason's BBQ. When I visit your school, I'll talk about where I get my ideas and how I use those ideas to create stories. Do you write stories in your class? You might like my silly writing video.
Lucy, I think it's exciting that you live in the Philippines. Enjoy your time there. Here's a little story you can read or try as a play with your friends. It's snowing here. Does it ever snow there? brb, Debbie

Lucas, I've never seen the Beatles live, but it's cool that you've been to a Paul McCartney concert. I like most of their music. Do you have a favorite? Do you think one of the Beatles look like Dracula?
Ali, Zoe, Lexie, Jed, and Dylan you are right. When Marcia and I first wrote Vampires Don't Wear Polka Dots we actually did have Mrs. Jeepers turning into a vampire monster right in front of all the kids. Our editor asked us to change it so that it wouldn't be so scary and so kids could decide for themselves. That's why the Bailey School Kids books end the way they do. Do you think we should have gone with the scarier endings? ttyl, Debbie

Lucy, hope you get to go to the sea soon. Good luck spotting mermaids! Ken, you can send your letter to me at this address: Debbie Dadey Scholastic 557 Broadway NY, NY 10012. I'll look forward to getting it. Have a great week, Debbie

Hey Lucy, how cool that you live in the Philippines. I've never been there. If you can't get Mermaid Tales locally, they are also available online and as ebooks. Have you ever seen any mermaids in the South China Sea? Lucas, I hope you liked Dracula Doesn't Rock and Roll. Your new ideas were cool-the devil one could be very creepy! Take care, Debbie

Hi Lucy! I'm so glad you liked your Mermaid Tales book. Guess what? The fourth one comes out soon. I'm pretty excited about it because Pearl meets a shark! I never knew before that we need sharks in the ocean. They help in a lot of ways and one is that they keep fish populations healthy by eating diseased ones. Since you like dolphins, here's a sneak peek at book five that comes out in May. Good luck with your writing, Debbie
