From the Author:
While writing Gerald and the Wee People, I imagined using this book to talk with middle and high school students about the joy of reading. So many kids and young adults have gotten out of the habit of reading books and reading is becoming a dying art.
With the advent of computer games, movies on demand and other electronic gizmos, young people have other ways to occupy themselves. I want them to experience the joy of reading and using their imagination to go places they have never or could never visit.
We are no longer limited by only having to carry around a paper book anymore. With Kindle, Nook, Apple, Sony, etc, books can be carried with us wherever we go. It is important to encourage reading for all ages so great writing will always be appreciated.
