 I am 72 and I still love your books! I started reading them about 30 years ago when my 13-year-old, 8th grader son came home with Dinky Hocker Shoots Smack from the school library. Before becoming a mother, I had been a junior high English teacher (from 1958 though 1965). I've always read books that appeal to young teens so I can keep up with their tastes and what's available to their age. I am so glad to see your pictures! This is the first time I have had any idea what you look like. In the last five years or so, I have not read any new authors who write for your audience. Therefore, I can't say for sure that you are still the best, but I imagine you are. Your books are timeless. I recently finished Your Eyes in Stars. In the front of the book were two pages listing many of your books and many of your awards. I imagine either you or your publisher wanted only two complete pages for these. But I was sorry to see that two of my favorites were not listed: I'll Love You When You're More Like Me and Is That You, Miss Blue? I consider both timeless, although they are probably out of print. I don't know how the publishing business works with thirty-year-old or even older books, but I hope these will be published again for the current crop of young teens. I work as a volunteer in church with middle school kids and would love to recommend these. I'm pretty sure no public library in Louisville, KY has a copy anymore. My son did not consider your books too girly for him. I've never considered any of them as more suitable for one sex than the other. (I haven't read any by Mary James, and did not even know about those until today.) I hope you live well past 100 and keep on writing! Madeleine Marcum

 Hi Marijane, I am studying to become an English teacher in the Netherlands. I have read your very fine book 'Deliver Us From Evie' and I have to compose a tasksheet for my high school students of 2x50 min. I wonder if you have some creative ideas on the first hour? I would like them to discuss the gay and lesbian theme in a way that 14/15 year old adolescents find interesting. So, maybe there is a movie made of the book, a song, poem, games to play in order for them to find out about the book or writer. The second hour, I want my students to concentrate more on factual (finding passages and words etc.)and reflective? I hope to hear from you. Keep up that great and clear writing of yours! Thanks! Love Trudy

 I just got back from a 10-day holiday which I spent in a very southern part of Italy. As you will understand, it is never nice to return from a sunny and totally relaxing place to a rainy and busy place at home. This time returning home wasn't so hard after all, because when I checked my mail box I found your wonderful surprise. Now, reading your book is something I can look forward to again! Thanks for that and take care. Best wishes, Chris from Belgium

 Hi, I just wanted to tell you what a trip down memory lane it was tonight. I was sitting here looking for more YA books to order into my YA section of our store, and came across so many titles from my own youth. I am now going to have to find all your books that have been written since 1982 so that I can catch up on your newer works. I loved reading your books as a teen and have several still in my shelves. Thank you for all your writing and sharing with all of us.

 Since you signed my guestbook TWICE, I thought I'd read another of your books so's I could return the favor. Plus I really did like Night Kites. So I went to the YA section at the library and the only one of your books in was Gentlehands, so that is what I read. I didn't like it as much as Night Kites, 'cuz I don't really like subterfuge all that much, and I thought the ending was too ambiguous to fit in with the rest of the narrative. But it did make me think. I don't think Buddy should have turned his grandfather in, because what's the point? It's not going to benefit anybody, and the grandfather is not currently harming society. I do intend to review it on my site, but I've currently got a ridiculously large backlog as I just started college, which makes me busy. Thanks again for visiting my site, and thanks for the first time for writing the books in the first place.

 Hi, I just visited this site, and I really like it. I didn't know who was M.E. Kerr, but because of the summer assignment, I found my favorite book called "Gentlehands" I just finished middle school, but in my recommendation, Ms. Kerr could visit to Springton Lake Middle School. In every year, there's a visiting author, and I think Ms. Kerr could be just right for visiting to my middle school. I'm not sure about visiting author in high school, but I know there is in middle school. Maybe, you could tell her about this or so. Thanks for reading.
