Glad to be back a bit early to answer your letters! Mandie and Kelsey, you know I love mermaids. Do you have a favorite of the 19 Mermaid Tales books?
Luna Zoe, I'm glad you liked Battle of the Best Friends. We debated about tails or tales when naming the series-I think it could have been either way! Have a great weekend, Debbie

Dear Friends, I will not be answering more mail until September 23rd. I hope you are enjoying the start of your school year!
Julia, The Bailey School Kids didn't become a Frankenstein Doesn't Plant Petunias series until after we had written the sixth book. That's when Scholastic asked us to write more more books in the series! Up until then they had called them companion books. We did not have a agent until we sold 90 books!
Audriana, I like dolphins too! Have a great week, Debbie

Books vs Looks Dear Krinjal, I'm so glad you are enjoying third grade. I loved third grade too (except I often got in trouble for talking too much!) Krinjal, please thank your librarian for having the Mermaid Tales books.
Mrs. K, Thanks so much for reading The Bailey School Kids books to your students. Did you know the idea for the very first Bailey School Kids book came from a bad day? This page has some magazines and activities your students might enjoy. Shongeina, hi! Hope you have a blessed week, Debbie

Dear John, When Marcia and I wrote our first book, Vampires Don't Wear Polka Dots, we had no idea it would turn into a best-selling series. We have been very lucky and very blessed! We simply wrote the best book we knew how (and had fun with it) then sent it to a publisher and hoped they would publish it! Scholastic was the third publisher we asked. Have a great weekend, Debbie

Dear Cooper, I like all of the Bailey School Kids books, but Vampires Don't Wear Polka Dots, Santa Claus Doesn't Mop Floors, and Skeletons Don't Play Tubas are some of my favorites.
Nevaeh, I am delighted that you like my books. Remember to enjoy your new school year. Make friends with boys and girls. Best, Debbie
