Aly,
Your story is really interesting and looks especially good on the computer. Congratulations on your first published story. I hope you are following Fletcher as he goes south. Today he is in North Carolina, munching on some good stuff!
Good job Aly-Bop! You worked very hard… we are so proud of you (and Fletcher would love to know how much you care about him)! Keep up the hard work.
Love, Mom
