If you also follow my Just Thinking blog, then you might have already seen this passionate request from a young reader named Robert. He is just one of many such readers who has asked me to write a sequel to my novel Runt over the years. Feel free to share my answer to Robert if you have readers in your classroom who share his opinion. And despite the fact that I’ve had to tell Robert that there won’t be a sequel, how wonderful it is to know that—despite all the distractions the world now offers—young people can be so moved by a book that they are willing to plead their case for more of what has so moved them!
