HI Fiona,

We have just read ‘Six Impossible Things’. We love it and will booklist it next year for our Year 9s (160 or so girls). We’ve been studying ‘Alibrandi’ for years and feel that you have brought real teenage issues into the current decade. Beautiful writing.

will contct booked out to see if you can come and speak to the 9s.

Cheers and thanks for such an authentic account.

Therese

Thanks, Ali, I burst into tears when I first saw Steven Soderbergh’s speech; it’s so generous. And I think people like you and Dr Di, who not only work professionally in the writing zone, but have small people, and are also managing to fit in your own writing, deserve extra ribbons and medals.

I love this post. Tonight I am turning up at the page. It’s not such a scary place to be after all.

Thanks, Di, and thanks for dropping in – I have not been around here much lately, and have no decent excuse (like a new-ish small person, for instance…)
