[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 243511, member: 1233"] Author signings can be tough. I remember when Brian Jacobs, author or the Redwall series, came to a small town bookstore near here. We went with all 3 kids because Wiz was a HUGE fan (still is). The speech he gave was wonderful, very motivating to the kids. And then he explained he would sign books but because his arthritis could not do any dedications, just his signature. I was surprised - NONE of the kids I saw whined for him to write anything else, although quite a few of the adults did. Harry Potter actually created a huge spike in reading among kids. Nichole's reaction was very common. That is one reason it was a worldwide favorite among librarians - it got (and still gets) kids of all ages to read. thank you is on either the 4th or 5th book in that series. Have not heard of the wimpy kid series, but am planning to look for it. Sorry you didn't get an autograph, but glad Manster didn't beg you to wait all those hours. We get very very few major authors here in our town. The school PTA pulls in 1 childrens book author a year, but that is it except for local authors. I hope he enjoys his books! [/QUOTE]
