I wanted to share with you that The Two Princesses of Bamarre meant so much to me as a kid, I have the edge of the book tattooed on my arm. Thank you for creating such a wonderful world for us to escape into! Your work means so much to me.

Gail - I can honestly say Ella Enchanted changed my life. As a child, I'd never experienced a book so alive with magic and wonder. My paperback copy, that I still have to this day, has been read so many times, it's practically crumbling into dust. I find that 28 years later, even as an adult, I am constantly chasing the high your book gave me. You've shaped my taste in not only books, but my love for fairytales, folklore, and fantasy. Thank you for writing such strong, confident leads, and for trusting children with some of the harsher realities of life. I don't know the adult I would be without you!!

Irna! Thank you for letting me know. She loved teaching and thought about what each student needed. I hope you enjoy my books!
Gail - I’m a contemporary of yours who was a student of your mother’s at PS 87. She was my 3rd grade teacher and then my 6th grade teacher. I remember her bringing you to school with her once or at most twice. You’re a clue in yesterday’s NY Times’ crossword puzzle, which led me to decide to look at your website. I knew you’d written several children’s books. I’m delighted to have “found “ you and to have seen your photo. Your smile is so much like your mother’s, in my memory. I just wanted to let you know how much your mother meant to me. Now I’m going to get some of your books!

Dear Gail Carson Levine, The night I finished reading Ella Enchanted I stayed up till 12'. It took me out of my bed and into a fairy tale, I loved every part of it. I had recently read a poem called,"I opened a book" by Julia Donaldson; and like the poem I fell in love with it. I loved how smart and courageous Ella is. As a 12 girl, she is everything I want to be. Thank you for opening up a door to wonderous books.
