We had Laurie for two school visits and a public event when she came to Boston. WOW. She was fantastic. The day was made even more special by the fact that all the students were dressed up for Halloween, so Laurie was taking questions from princesses, aliens, and Dr. Seuss characters! It sounds like she inspires everyone no matter where she goes. Thanks for sharing!

My daughter and her friends all love FEVER. One copy got passed around so much we had to buy our own so my other kids can read it when they got older. That’s a story I didn’t know much about, and Ms. Anderson made the event so real to us. Thank you for sharing this great author!

Thank you, Elizabeth, for this wonderful and thorough description of Laurie’s day in Vermont. You made it seem like we were all there with you, sharing the excitement and energy. And I think your candid pictures of a constantly moving (I agree with you on that point!) LHA were great. Bravo to you, the kids, the school and especially to Laurie.

What a great story! Ms. Anderson is AWESOME! So wonderful to see kids excited about reading and talking with an author and knowing that she listened to them as well. Marvelous way to motivate students and make them feel special.
