hey! i'm a huge fan of your books - i read "choosing up sides" after being told by a friend that it involved baseball (and being a crazed yankees fan, how could i say no to that?!). when i began reading i didn't think that i, as a girl, really could identify with the main character. however, as it progressed the story seemed to have relevance to my own modern-day lifestyle. i couldn't put it down and, expectedly, sped through "over the wall" as soon as i got my hands on it. i just wanted to commend you on your completion of the difficult task of writing stories that all types of teens (and adults) can enjoy! i can't wait for your next book - as soon as it hits the shelves i'll be sure to be first in line to get it! keep up the great work!
