A few weeks ago at the GIRLTROPIA convention in Los Angeles where I was read passages from The Wish Stealers, I met a wonderful girl named Emma. With her mom and sister, Emma came up to me and shared how she was a fan of The Wish Stealers and had completed a school project on the book. She showed me the “magic box” she created that represented things from the story such as a painting (for Grandma Penshine) and a red bass guitar for Griffin. I thought her project was so thoughtful and imaginative, that I asked her to please send me the photos to post. Thank you, Emma!

This summer an amazing group of girls in Ohio started their own book club. Their first summer read was The Wish Stealers! We did a conference call for twenty minutes about the book. I was thrilled to answer their thoughtful and detailed questions. Like any great book club, wonderful food was served! Check out their “wish cupcakes” made especially for this mother-daughter event. We had an interesting discussion about the power of endings in stories. I loved what the girls and their moms shared about the ending in The Wish Stealers–I thought about their words for many days afterward. Thank you, wonderful, cool, smart, lovely Ohio girls–may you have many awesome book clubs to come. Best wishes! Tracy

On a recent all day school visit in California I had the honor of meeting the student winners of a school-wide writing contest. These exceptional young authors from each grade wrote the winning essays judged by a school panel. On a break between presentations, I was lucky enough to have lunch with these very talented and creative students. They asked me about the writing process and I had chance to read their stories and give them feedback.

Scribble Press, which is in both NYC and LA, is a wonderful place for children to write their own stories and make their own books. They recently invited me to lead a workshop on making a “WISH BOOK.” Twenty-five children attended and I spoke about wishing customs all over the world. I read passages from The Wish Stealers and guided the children as they created their own books. Here are some of the pages the children made.

Thank you to all the terrific students and teachers today. I thoroughly enjoyed hearing about your wishes for yourselves, for others, and for the world. You all were very articulate and thoughtful. I also loved hearing from the writing contest winners– you all have some great stories in the works. Keep on revising.
Special thanks to Tom for your great introductions and to Holly for your incredible help.
Best wishes..
