One of the pleasures of authorship is getting to know so many fantastic librarians across the country.

One of the pleasures of life in our era is that you can get to know someone in so many new and wonderful ways.

This morning I woke up to a message telling me that Pam Brown Margolis, alias The Unconventional Librarian (a Philadelphia reader, librarian, and reviewer), just compared The Secrets of Mary Bowser to Alex Haley's Roots.

So Pam's review pretty much rocked my universe.
