Hey Alan,
I'm finally reading Pond Scum, and thoroughly enjoying it! Hey, will this end up a movie too? I could totally see it with a Pixar/Disney kinda vibe.
More (praise I'm sure)when I finish,

Thanks for the welcome! I've just checked out your book. I'd love to review it for our blog, but it may take a while--we get awfully busy in the library. I'll let you know when I do.
