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.
