This makes me feel bad! I can’t come! I live all the way in London! I would do anything to go but I’m kind of busy with school stuff. And in the holidays too. Also, I LOVE GINGERSNAPS ! I cannot (!) decide which of your books to pick up and read even though I have read them all a thousand times! But they make me step into the same world as in the books you write! I was reading your books all through by accident because I forgot and I told off. I didn’t really care because your books are the BEST THOUGH ! I have already nominated you. HOPE YOU WIN THE TEEN OF QUEEN ! Fingers crossed! Selina Tsai
