Sorry we didn't get to see each other last week!

Hey Brainiacs! Well I'm very sorry I didn't get to see you last week. I hope you're all feeling well! I've been thinking about you.

I enjoyed reading all your comments. You all shared some really great thoughts on the book. It sounds like most of you weren't able to finish "Autumn Street". Is that correct? Well, you know what, life got a little busy for me too, and I'm also a little behind in my reading. I agree that it can be hard to focus on two books at the same time. I have that problem too. Do you feel like you just ran out of time, or did you not enjoy the book as much as the others? What did you like or dislike about the book? Does it relate in anyway to the past books or to your new book? Are any characters similar? Let me know your thoughts! You don't have to answer all the questions. I would say just pick one to talk about. I'd also love to hear about your new book. Are you enjoying it so far? I haven't read that one so you'll have to fill me in!

We have a lot of great people who are looking forward to meeting you, so unfortunately my turn is up, but I do know that someone wonderful will be joining you next Wednesday. I'm not sure which person is joining the Brainiacs, but I know all the volunteers and they're all great people. I REALLY enjoyed meeting you and getting to read with you and I'm sorry I didn't get to tell you that in person last week. I hope you keep up your reading! There are so many exciting characters and great adventures in books. So read read read! Please do post notes back to me and I will check in and post a response before you meet your new JPMorgan friend next week.

AWWWW I am really sad to see that you going to leave us and we are going to have an new JP Morgan... PLEASE DONT LEAVE US!!!
I really like our new book Freak the Mighty it is really good book. Yes i do liek this book as much as I like the other books. I think ths relates to Mrs.Frisby for some reason because there is A REALLY SMART Person who always comes up with a plan which is just like FREAK he is really smart. I think it is really hard to concentration because we have to much to do. I AM REALLY GOING TO MISS YOU

Hi Amy and Breanna! I'm going to miss you too! I really enjoyed spending time with you and discussing the books. I know you're going to like the next person a lot too.

Amy, that's a great observation! Nicodemus was really smart and great at solving problems, wasn't he. Actually all the rats were good at combining their knowledge and figuring out solutions together. It sounds like this new character is pretty smart too. What a great comparison! Is does get really tough to concentrate when we're really busy. how would the rats solve that problem? or Freak? Great work!
