Lylah Please add the return the "middle guys" and "older guys" categories to the site. It helps grownups sift through it all.
Rebecca Calderon Thanks for visiting Texas! I love Robot Zot! Maybe it will be our Book of the Month for next year.
Cindy Markland Muskovitz Way to go, Jon. I'll look for your books next time I'm at the book store. Another kid of Flint does well! Can keep us down, can they?
Ann Your books have consistently been high on my list of "must reads" to any child within reach who wants to hear or read a great book. I love your "Guys Read" initiative. I wish we could have an initiative started called "AMERICANS READ," or "People Who Live in America Read..." Alert the President and his lovely first ...Lady--and Oprah, of course. Get busy, Jon (and Lane Smith, too!)
Pat Forcier Horray for Flint. We have produced so many famous people,especially those that honor children. Do you remember a baby sitter you had that was a teacher friend of your parents at Freeman named Sallie Johnson? She sends her best wishes from Arizona.
Cathy Lancaster Thanks for all you do! We'd love to have you back in Flint at the Flint Public Library sometime!
David One more Greenway alumni checking in. I have never liked cheese but I have bought Stinky Cheese Man for several people over the years. Great read.
Joan Leveque Jon, just bought your book "Cowboy & Octopus for my grandson, Luke. Great job, keep up the good work, also love the Trucktown series. Joan Wylie LeVeque
Susan K Wylie- Barron Who would of thought that a kid from Greenway would know how to write such great books!!! Love all of them, keep up the great work..Lil Wylie ...
Kirsten Roopenian Jon, Still have that evil gleem in your eye....How on earth did a Culver grad ever become an ambassador??? Love your books, read them to my kids, had fun with them...no mention anywhere of a bird sanctuary tho...sis Petra is in touch w/you no? I am aka Kris Nicholson......
Laura Cannon I really enjoyed meeting you at the Texas Book Festival in Austin yesterday--you are definitely one of my favorite authors. I know my third graders will be impressed that I got to meet you and have a picture to prove it!
Kevin Moore Hi fellow guys-readers ... I'm a librarian in London, Ontario. I'm putting together a lsit of great novels for guys aged roughly 8 and up. I've got lots so far, but am wondering if anyone's got a personal favourite ... maybe a hidden gem out there that deserves some recognition? Thanks!
Jennifer Doerr HI Jon! It's Jennifer, Director of Publicity at Macmillan Children's. I'm writing because I can't beileve we've offically met yet! Hope to say hello in-person soon.

Jon,
I am designing working on a community project I've tentatively called "Motivating Teenage Boys to Become Lifelong Readers: a Title IX Initiative for Boys Reading". I have 2 young adult boys who happily are reading but they didn't do much of that in high school. This has now become a passion for me and your work is ...key to my education on this. I am wondering if you or anyone at Guys Read can provide me with permission to use any video links you may have - I just need 30 seconds or so of your words of wisdom or fo course humor (!) to capture their attention - this component will be an independent reading program "announcement". Many thanks for your unbelievable work and any help you can give me.
