I never read those Wimpy Kid books (too old) and my kids didn't read them, either. I honestly probably resented the idea of books designed for kids that don't like the read; I volunteered for years in the elementary school library, and I noticed that the kids that read those books *only* read those books. But my nephew wrote a fan letter to Jeff Kinney *four years ago,* and he actually, finally just now wrote him back! It's a long letter, too!
Four years ago my son, aged 7, wrote a letter to his favourite author, Jeff Kinney @wimpykid . We mailed it off and he checked the mailbox every day, hoping for a reply. He's must get a lot of fan mail, I said.Eventually my son stopped checking.Yesterday, look what arrived?😲 pic.twitter.com/rwuWRAOCaU— Dr Eleanor Limprecht (@TheNeedtoRead) June 7, 2021
