    Hi Stephen! I am from Ann Blanch Smith School in Hillsdale New Jersey. I was thinking about your visit and I wanted to buy a book and I wanted to know which book is you favorite book. I liked when you showed a picture of you riding a camel. That looks like fun. I really enjoyed you coming to my school. Thank you for coming.

    • Hey Luke…Thanks for writing and glad you enjoyed my visit. As far as my favorite book, I really like Once a Wolf, Safe, Warm and Snug, and Turtle Tide. Sea Turtle Scientist, my latest, is great, too. Read up a storm! Thanks, Steve
