I posted several entries in July about the letters that the 5th grade book group members and I wrote to Angie Sage, author of Magyk<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0and its sequels.\u00c2\u00a0 I told the girls in the book group to not get their hopes set on an answer from Ms. Sage, since she’s\u00c2\u00a0a bestselling author and lives in England, and because\u00c2\u00a0the letters had to\u00c2\u00a0be\u00c2\u00a0mailed to\u00c2\u00a0Ms. Sage c\/o her publisher, since I couldn’t locate an address\u00c2\u00a0(either real mail or email) for her anywhere.<\/p>\n

But Angie Sage rocks, let me tell you.\u00c2\u00a0 Not only is she\u00c2\u00a0a great author, she’s also a kind and intelligent person who took the time to write three separate letters\u00c2\u00a0(one to me, one to G., and one to P.), each letter specifically addressing questions and comments made in the letters we sent to her.\u00c2\u00a0 For example, in her letter to Ms. Sage, P. asked how Ms. Sage was doing, and added that she was probably busy writing.\u00c2\u00a0 Ms. Sage answered P.’s question, saying yes indeed she was busy, thank you for asking, and then launched into a long description of the part of her new book (the next in the Septimus Heap series) that she’s currently writing.\u00c2\u00a0 Wow.<\/p>\n

So far only G. has come in to pick up her letter from Angie Sage, but she was completely and totally thrilled.\u00c2\u00a0 Thrilled<\/em>.\u00c2\u00a0 The look on G.’s face as she read the letter – a combination of blissful happiness, awe, and hyper excitement – totally made my day, and I only wish that Angie Sage could have seen it, too.\u00c2\u00a0 Thanks, Angie Sage!!\u00c2\u00a0 You’re awesome!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
