Hi Malka, I agree it would be cool for the Bailey School Kids to be made into a TV show!! Taft, I think it's cool that you are writing this summer. You might want to check out my writing page for tips, podcasts, and even a silly movie! Just keep scrolling down for more stuff. Do you think we should write more Bailey School Kids books?
I got to meet some great kids yesterday at the Doylestown Bookshop. My next booksigning will be on Sept. 10th at the Princeton Children's Book Festival. Hope to see you there! Enjoy the summer! Debbie

Hi, if you live in PA. or NJ. I hope you'll come see me at the Doylestown Festival of Books. They'll be a bunch of authors there and I'll be autographing my Keyholders books, Mermaids Don't Run Track, and Monsters Don't Scuba Dive. I'll be reading at 3:15. Hope to see you there! Summer is going fast so come pick up some good books to read. Best, Debbie

Hey Heather, I hope you're having a happy summer. It's cool that you enjoyed Santa Dog, one of the Barkley School for Dogs books. I think he's really Santa's, don't you? By the way, I'm more than half-way finished with my summer list. How are you doing? Every summer I make up a list of at least ten things I want to make sure to do. So far I've gone on a bike ride, played the piano every day, finished a book, read five books, and written a letter to someone who didn't expect it. Do something fun today! ttyl, Debbie

Hi Raheel, I think it's cool that you are trying to write stories this summer. Me too! You say you have trouble writing after a few sentences, but have great ideas. There are some things you can try-if it's trouble with the actual putting it all down on paper part ask your mom to write it for you or use a tape recorder (or the recorder on your computer) to get it all down. If it's trying to figure out what to do with all those great ideas, check out the Story Elements Chart on my writing page. A lot of people think you just start writing a story without planning it, but if you take to time to plan your story first it will help you not only finish your story, but have a great story! Let me know you it's going. Good luck, Debbie

  Hey Ian, I see that Kindle has Inside The Magic and The Wrong Inside the Magic book Side of Magic, but none of the Bailey School Kids books. I will ask my editor when the Bailey School Kids books will be on Kindle. I hope soon!
     Serlie, you sound like a great sister. Before I recommend a book I like to know what kids are interested in. Does your sister like sports? Then she might enjoy Zombies Don't Play Soccer, Leprechauns Don't Play Basketball, or Mermaids Don't Run Track. Speaking of soccer, I was bummed when the US Women's team lost the World Cup. I was mad at Japan for getting a red card and keeping the USA from scoring.
     I just recently finished a book about humpback whales, so I thought this video was totally cool. Check it out, Debbie
