How thrilling to connect with a writer in real time half way around he world. I am a deep fan of Mr. Becker's books. I've been having some of the same questions the students asked. Brilliant teaching, Mrs. Halliday. Thanks for posting.

They might be even more amazed to find out that you all reached me in Malaga, Spain, where my family and I are staying for the school year while I finish the paintings for book # 3. When you plan to read Quest with them, let's surprise them with a live-skype or chat and I can read the book with them! That would be a blast!
