Grouching

Arrrrrgghhhhhh! My cousin drives me mad! At least, she used to. I lent her one of your books (they are far to important to be given away) and guess what? She shut up! No more complaining! I can now sleep at night without having to listen to her grouching (has she been taking lessons from Linn?). Hurray! Thank you!!!!

One word!

I''m not quite sure there is a word to describe your books, Karen, but if I had to choose one I would choose PHENOMENAL!!! At first I got the 2nd book from the 'Stella ETC' series free from a magazine and after a few pages, I simply couldn't put it down! After that I BEGGED my mum (I was literally on my hands and knees!) to log onto www.amazon.com and order all of them; even the one I already read (Sweet Talking TJ)! Seriously Karen, you are my idol and I feel that no author in the WHOLE WORLD could match up to you! I want to be just like you!
Bestest wishes,
Hopeful Heather xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I had a thought...

...why not do a sort of companion book for 'Stella Etc' with Frankie's viewpoint of the first week after Stella moves? That would be cool!

PS I have ordered the Sadie Rocks books after reading the preview and can't wait!
PPS My sister wants to be in a story of yours. Now I think of it, she would be a good character as she is totally mad – 10-and-a-half years old, short, brown hair in under-chin bob, hazel eyes, glasses, Asperger's Syndrome, home-educated, can't stand me... etc etc.

Ally on film! (Er, almost...)

Me and my friends love Ally's World and we decided (using my dad's camers - oopsy!) to make episodes of each book. it took us 3 years to edit them all and make them perfect (I was Ally!). And some day (hopefully!) I'd love to show them to you. I just wanted to say you have filled so many a pleasant hour of reading and film making time, and I really appreciate it.

Not the toileting in the woods...

Omigod i LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!! the Ally's World series!! PLEASE WRITE MORE BOOKS!!!!!!! I've read every book in the series at least twice and I know you might not want to (hopefully because you can't think of any more plots; it would be better than an outright NO!!!) because I feel I can relate to the characters and the storylines and the mortification that Ally feels every time she tries to talk to Alfie!!! A few of my favourites are Angels, Arguments and A Furry Merry Christmas, Rainbows, Rowan and True True Romance (?), Crushes, Cliques and the Cool School Trip (man, I wish what happened to Sandie would happen to me!!! No, not the toileting in the woods!!!), and Sisters, Super-Creeps and Slushy, Gushy Love Songs. Please consider my earlier request as I know many will be waiting hopefully for another marvel of an Ally's World installment to hit the shelves!! I know I am!!!

Exciting excitement!

I can't WAIT until your new series comes out (my library must be a bit annoyed with me, as I keep getting/reserving your books!). I AM SO EXCITED! i need to let it all out. Honestly, I'm trembling – I logged in and saw your new blog and practically died! I've asked for the whole Alys World series for Christmas, so I can read them thousands of times! And will ask 4 the new book for 'nothing special' day (I made it up, 4th March!). ONLY 2 MORE DAYS OF SCHOOL! luv ya all out there...

I would love to have Rowan as my twin 'cause well, she is like sooo like me. I am such an airhead lol =p. Also, Alfie wears cool shoes, Converse I mean. I have black ones with multi-coloured bits on lol. I also love Colin and all the other cats and animals too. I love animals and nature and stuff. I have a cat called Lucky and her belly is fat and she often sits around and moans at me but I love her lots really. Now I must go as she's mioawing and is going to savagely headbutt me if I don't feed her. ILY! X.
