“Rusty is now dead.” And so is the rabbitt!
Hey Lara – I just finished reading the advanced copy of “Anything but Ordinary” that I picked up at the Texas Library Convention. I loved it – loved the topic – loved the lack of cuss words – loved the story – loved the ending. Great job. I have many students who are writing books at the high school I work at, and if time, would you mind emailing me a few tips on writing that I could share with them in our Book Club. Thanks.
