Yeah, Fiona! I love the story and I love the books. I can’t wait to hear how Mabel helps you with some of the future books in the series and how she “emerges” as a character. Thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful story.

Dallas, great quote by Garrison Keillor. There’s such truth in that.

Susan, thanks for stopping by and for sharing this post on your blog!

Karen, you’re so right about those times when life will turn on a dime. Sometimes we pass right by those opportunities and other times we jump in without even realizing the impact they will have.

Robyn, great to meet a fellow FB group member! Thanks for stopping by.

And thanks to Fiona for sharing her story with us!

What a wonderful story. You just never know where and when life will turn on a dime. And, to have the opportunity to make such a drastic difference in a child’s life is amazing.

So inspiring! Thank you so much Fiona for sharing Mabel’s story! As the founder of a youth literacy organization, I have seen many examples of the empowerment, joy and confidence kids and teens can find through books. As Garrison Keillor said, “A book is a gift you can open again and again!”

Best of luck with everything!

All best wishes,
Dallas

Thanks, everyone, for stopping by! I agree that Fiona’s book would also be a fun read for adults. And, as you said Jane, I’ll be watching for Mabel’s books in the future!
