    I grew up reading the Sammy Keyes series and I just wanted to thank you. These books were my childhood and made me laugh and cry and just be plain happy.
    When I finished reading the series I cried, it inspired me so much and I loved it.
    I fell in love with FLIPPED, THE RUNNING DREAM, and SWEAR TO HOWDY.
    I can't even put into words how much you've impacted me, how much you've inspired me. It makes me feel so happy that you make videos because you're amazing. ☺️

      I'm so sorry it's taken me this long to notice your truly wonderful comment. Thank you for sharing all of that with me--I cried like a baby at the end of Sammy Keyes, so it's always nice to know I didn't cry alone! This pandemic situation has been hard on everyone, and as much as I try to remain upbeat, it does get to me, so I very much appreciate the kind words and encouragement you've given here. Thank you very much for taking the time to write. Hoping you're well and staying safe. ❤️ Wendelin

      Thank you so much! We are keeping our fingers crossed that travel restrictions will be lifted and that I can participate in the 50th anniversary celebration in Buxtehude. I would love to be able to visit this "book crazy" town!

    During COVID, I started re-reading all of the Sammy Keyes series from the top. I fell in love with these books when I was in 4th grade (I'm 27 now!) and I still love them just as much! I just want to sincerely thank you for creating such an inspiring, loveable and amazing character like Sammy. I sincerely wanted to be her back then and, I still do now!
    I'm not quite finished the read-through of the series, but I sincerely don't want it to end. I'm sure you've received thousands of comments just like this but heres another... Your writing and books have changed my life and impacted me for the better. Thank you for all that you do

      @WendelinVanD  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I'm torn! Yes and no! But I think it's better for Flipped to freeze-frame on a perfect moment in time, rather than add to it, so that's what I've stuck to. Thanks for caring. #FlippedForever! 🐣🌳❤️
