Dear Mrs. Johnson's second graders, I look forward to Sea Monsters Don't Ride Motorcyclesmeeting you on Friday.  Two things made me want to write Mermaid Tales.  One, I have spent my last two vacations at the beach and two, I had a discussion with an editor and she thought a mermaid series would be a lot of fun.  And it has been.  Of course, I do have mermaids, but I also have merboys too.
     Madi, I'm so glad you like all my books.  Do you have a favorite?  Lily, I'm not sure why I haven't gotten your other Mermaids Don't Run Tracknotes.  Thanks for you cool idea about a clown on a motorcycle.  Did you see Sea Monsters Don't Ride Motorcycles?  Best of luck with your City story.  It sounds very exciting.  Sydney, I'm happy you enjoyed Mermaids Don't Run Track.  Have a great week, Debbie
