Okanagan Book Tour

Penticton

Wonderful week touring libraries in the Okanagan (Mission, Westbank, Peachland, Summerland and Naramata). Seamlessly organized by Okanagan Regional Library and great bunches of kids—of course, the sunshine and wineries didn't hurt!
Best comment—a kid asked if any of my books had been turned into movies. I joked that I was waiting for a call from Spielberg. A grade five put up his hand and said, "Aren't you afraid he'll mess it up?"
Coolest moment, meeting a grade four kid who was descended from Sir John Franklin—in Naramata—what are the chances?
Happy Canadian Thanksgiving to all.
