Last spring, my granddaughter, Madison (I call her Miss Magoo) asked me to write a book she could read. In keeping with my genre, I wrote a mystery suitable for third graders on up. The Title is "Who is the Bully". It stars the daughter of one of my adult detectives Maggie Johnson, daughter of Prof. Bob Johnson. I kept my Miss Magoo in the dark about it being finished. On December 9, 2013, her mom, Renee and I stopped by her class with the approval of her teacher and the school principal. Of course, she didn't know we were coming. We interrupted their reading time.
I presented the book to her in front of her classmates, to her total surprise. Her teacher asked if I would read a couple of chapters for her class. Which I did. I gave a copy to the Library and now all her classmates want to check it out to read.
Here are a couple of photos. The first one is of me and Madison looking at me as I am reading. The second is of her class, with Ms. Johnson, her teacher behind her and I.
