Hey readers,

So, the West Hollywood Book Fair happened last Sunday and it was more fun than a book fair should be.  First of all, take a look at this picture: 

This is the stage debut of Sophomore Undercover!  Well, a couple pages of it at least, but we made up for it in sheer dramatic intensity.  Okay, to be technical, the kids who were acting supplied pretty much a hundred percent of the dramatic intensity, but I'm wearing a really pretty lei in that picture, and I think that should count for something. 

Kendall (Ms. Trasker), Riley (Dixie) and Noah (narrator) did an amazing job with the scene and if the technology existed for me to clap through the internet, you better believe that's what I would be doing right now. 

The rest of the scenes went really great too and a fun day was had by all.  And, as an added bonus, the Book Fair thought so much of the star power of the LAYAs that they set us up next to Carol Channing and the original cast of the Brady Bunch.  Oh yeah...that's star power. 

I think somebody might have snagged some video footage of this, so stay tuned for that.
