I saw Mr. Jerry Spinelli at the PSLA Conference in Hershey.  I heard him speak with Alan Gratz.  Of course, I had my Once in a Lifetime Amazing Spinelli Experience right here at the Hershey Lodge so many years ago.  When I saw Mr. Spinelli later in the exhibit hall I had to tell him how much I felt blessed by that time, all of those years ago.  He was so gracious and kind and let me take a picture of him and Lobster.  It was magical!

Eggs was magical, too.  A story of friendship and loss of a loved ones, either through abandonment or death.  And it was just magical and hopeful and tear and smile worthy.  Again, this Mr. Spinelli has done it, captured a real voice, well, real voices, of a 9 year old boy and a 13 year old girl.
Great book.  Highly recommended.
