    Hi Vikki,

    Steph ordered me a copy of ‘C comme Catastrophe’ for my classroom library. I’d like to get a copy of it for our school library as well (we already have the english version in the library). Just curious, do you ever get out to schools to speak to kids about writing and being an author? If you do, would you ever consider coming to St. Thomas (I’m teaching at Pierre Elliott Trudeau there)?

    Congrats on all your success!

    You are really talented! I wish I could be you keep up with the great sucess! ;)
    A fan of yours, Mia (I also commented on “My books” and “Presentation”)

  3. Edna Johnson / Library Technician says:

    I work in a middle school library. Would you consider Words that start with B / C comme Catastrophe / Love is a four-letter word / days that end in Y a series and if so, is there a specific order they should be read in or could they be read as stand alone novels.

    • Hi Edna! Yes, they are a loose series following two middle schoolers from garde 7-8, but they can be read as stand-alones. The order is Words That Start With B, Love is a Four-Letter Word, and then Days That End in Y.
