Your blog is beautiful! Look forward to seeing the full site.
Grrrrl Power Activate, indeed! Thanks for all the positive energy, guys.
Great blog,Vicky Looking forward to reading those future books. You're rockin', too!
The cover is a huge grabber -- sure to make decades of 6th-graders choose Cleopatra for their independent project in social studies -- and I love the whole theme of this blog! I'll put it on my blog roll so I can remember to check it out frequently and incorporate sayings into my vocabularly like, "I swear on my plumbs." Hooray, old critique-group friend!!
Congratulations, Vicky! You rock; you rule; you GO, Girl!
The book, no, scratch that, the sample, looked good at the BMP booth at IRA. The cover is a grabber! So v. different from the treatment of Alexander.
This looks fabulous! And, I love your blog design--great work Shelli!

Thanks ya'll! Jess, I wish I could be at your NY launch. And Robyn, Sarah and Hardygirl, thanks for commenting--I feel like a little kid with a new present every time I see a new comment. ;o)
Vicky, L-O-V-E this blog! Your book cover is fabulous too. Man, that Shelli sure does good work, doesn't she :-) I'll be checking here at least every week for interesting tidbits waiting for Cleo to arrive. Come on over and follow my blog and maybe you'll win a prize there too!
