Hi Everybody!
I hope you all had a lot of fun over Spring Break! A lot of you have written to ask what the newest Mallory book is. Well, here’s your answer: CAMPFIRE MALLORY. It’s all about Mallory’s adventures at summer camp. I loved going to camp when I was Mallory’s age so I had a lot of fun writing this book. I hope you have fun reading it!
Here’s what the cover looks like:

I am a 4th grader in Neenah, Wisconsin. I am researching about my favorite author for a school project. I am having a hard time finding information about you - where and when you were born, where you live now, hobbies, family, pets, etc.
Can you give me some of this information or tell me where I can find it?
Thanks,

Hey, did you know that there really is a Fern Falls? It’s in Idaho. I Googled Fern Falls, and that came up. Although, personally, I like to think that Fern Falls is in my home state of KY. TTFN (ta-ta for now)

Hi Rachel,
Thanks for letting me know that there is a real Fern Falls. When I looked, I didn’t find one. You are a very good researcher! I can’t tell what state Mallory lives in. That’s a big secret!
Keep reading!

Hi Lily (though I know that is not your real name),
thanks for all the nice mail. I’m glad you like the Mallory books. I don’t think I’m going to make them any harder. If you can’t read them for school, I hope you’ll keep reading them because you like them.
Let me know!

Dear Laurie,
I love the Mallory books! I already read Camp fire mallory and it rocks! I think you should do another book where Mary Ann finally moves to Fern Falls. But she isn’t living in Joey house neither is Joey they could move. And Maybe the McDonalds could welcome a baby into their family.
It’s OK if you don’t like the ideas
Write back!

Dear Jessica,
Thanks for writing. I’m so glad you like the Mallory books. I can’t tell you what is in store for Mallory, but there is some moving involved. Keep reading to find out! You have a lot of great ideas and I hope you’re doing some writing of your own!
I’m sure you’d be great at it!
Laurie
