Besides writing books, my next favorite thing to do is to visit with students and teachers at their schools. But please don’t invite me if you want a dry, boring speaker. I like to get students excited about reading, and the characters I’ve written about. So I spend a lot of time talking to them while they are coming into a room or auditorium. Once I’m on stage—watch out—I think I can act, so my characters come to life when I read. I also think I can sing—which my daughter tells me is absolutely not true. But no need to worry, I won’t entertain you with a song. I don’t think.
