Hi i’m a middle school student and i’m doing a report on you and books one and two in your finishing school series. your books are awesome i’m addicted to The finishing school. I can’t find anything about your family so do you have any siblings and tell me about your childhood.
I’m glad you like them and… I must decline, for secret reasons.
