Glad to have you back. Are you or have added Caila and Logan's names to anything you have done? Or used what Caila said to you at Henderson's Gibson Library? She said, "When I enter a room either I light up the room or knock over the lamp!" You asked her if you could use that in something in the future. They both loved meeting you, getting two autographed books from you, and having a great conversation with you. You inspired Logan to come home and write quite a bit on his own story. Hopefully someday you will visit Gibson Library again. Maybe with your next book? I hope that sometime in the future you make a movie of "The Schwa", that would be an amazing movie that is for sure. If you ever have open auditions please keep my kids in mind. They would love to work with you. Also, I told everyone I knew to read your books. I loved each one. Keep up the good work!

hey, I have read three of your books Unwind, then Downsiders, then most recently Everlost. Although I love you books I miss the first person writing in Unwind, it was unique. but then again Everlost had a awesome story line, and Downsiders had very memorable characters. I am a fan and always will be im looking foward to read your other books.
thank you thank you thank you. i am a kid who was at you speech at the anderson public library. i was the one in the front being loud and you told us to quite down. sorry about that. but i had a blast well com visit again so see ya later.
I finally picked up a copy of Everlost. It's next on my reading list! I was surprised at how large it is; it's about twice as long as your other works.
There was a copy of Unwind there that I wanted to get, too, but it wasn't in paperback.
I look forward to reading them! It's so cool to know that contacting one of my favorite authors is a click away!
my dad and i were discussing everlost and unwind the other day and i couldn't decide which one i liked best. your books are amazing, and i can't wait for the next one.
i met you when the international reading association of guam asked you to come to our little island. please come back to guam any time. we're big fans!
I haven't gotten around to reading Everlost yet but I've read some of your other works. Keep writing and keep dreaming! :) You've got a good thing going for you.

Mr. Shusterman, I am a junior high librarian, and I just literally finished "Unwind" and it was fantastic! I loved the concept and the chapter where the unwinding is described (don't want to give away who it happens to) was unbelievable! I was speechless! Thank you for providing such great books for us to pass on to the youngsters! I would love to read more about Connor, Risa and Lev - but hey that's what you get for being such a great writer and storyteller! Thanks again!
Thanks for adding me as a friend and above all, the top one. In March, you came to my school and I was chosen to participate with 30 other 8th grade students in a writing workshop. You and your books rule!
i'm not sure whether i'm excited or scared about the upcoming film adaptation of Everlost. i just hope that, unlike a lot of movies based on books, it holds true to the story, because it's such an amazing story.
hey you are a great rider I have read almost all of your books ducking ugly, red riders hood, dread locks, the shaw was here, shadow club, unwind, fulltilt just to name a few. Love your books cant wait for the next one
thanks for adding me a friend. mr. shusterman. i love your books. my favorite would be Full Tilt, which was the book, along with downsiders, that i was reading when you came to Guam through the International Reading Assosiation.
i feel so special!! the Beatles have led me to some amazing things, and being in your top is one of them. also, just thought i'd let you know that Everlost has been passed around a group of my friends, and is still making it's way through, and they all love it. thanks so much for the incredible books and the top spot!
