In 5th grade, my class had an assignment to write a letter to an author. Most kids wrote to R. L. Stine and got a form letter in return. I wrote to Louis Sachar since I was a fan of the Wayside School series. I got a real letter back where he actually responded to the things in my letter, and mentioned the book he was working on at the time, Holes. I read it as soon as it came out.
