  1. Just wow. I need to catch up. (It would be help­ful to have the pub­li­ca­tion dates as well. But I can find those myself.) I think I need to gath­er all my Avi books to give to my grand­kids soon. And buy miss­ing titles! I am so glad you are in this world and have worked so hard. Thank you.

  2. Ever since I was a kid I have loved all the books I have read of yours. To this day my favorites are Mid­night Mag­ic and The Man Who Was Poe. When I see this list I am shocked that I nev­er saw and still don’t see many of these books in the library or even in book stores. Thanks for a book list! Now I can have my chil­dren read more of your books and I can enjoy more of them myself.
