Like almost every other children's writer I know, my overwhelming desire is to get children reading. I want them to pick up the book and remain immersed in its pages for as long as is reasonable to expect any 21st century digital native to remain immersed in anything.
I want them to experience the unique pleasure of escaping their lives and minds for a brief moment or two through someone else's story. I want them to enjoy the book and share it with their friends, even perhaps re-read at some point. I want reading to be fun, and never a chore.
