Hello,

My goal is to get my children's book The Addiction Monster and the Square Cat into school systems throughout the country. (lofty goal I know :-)

The book is on Amazon.com's Best Sellers Lists - quite often #2 in Substance Abuse and is on 3 of the lists but of course bounces back and forth between being on 3 lists, then down to 2, and then back on 3 again. It is always on at least 2 of the Best Sellers Lists.

My book is geared toward 5th and 6th graders and up and is about how dreams and goals are thwarted when the Addiction Monster enters their lives.

The story is told with humor and pathos by the sassy but lovable family cat.

If you have any good suggestions for me as to how to accomplish my goal I would truly appreciate it.

Thank you,
Sheryl (Sherry) Letzgus McGinnis

Welcome to JacketFlap! As a teacher, I thought you might want to know about the debut of The Picnic Basket where school and library professionals taste new and forthcoming children's books with first-come, first-serve sample copies of books for kids of all ages. We send free books. You tell us what you think: look to see what’s in the weekly feast, request the books that you want to taste, read the books, and then post reviews on The Picnic Basket for your colleagues to read.

It’s a blog full of all you can read (and write) about children’s literature and I hope will become an additional resource for teachers. So far, the feedback’s been overwhelmingly positive. I hope you’ll take a peek and partake in the picnic.

Thanks,
Deborah Sloan
