Student comments:

After attending TBF, what authors/books are you now interested in reading or following that you didn't know about before?

I’m now interested in reading bullying books and holocaust books.

Did attending TBF give you any ideas about your own future career?

Yes. Seeing all of these authors, getting to meet them, and getting to hear them speak and talk with them, gives me a deeper incentive to write. I want to be standing where they are someday, speaking to kids about reading and writing and helping them to succeed in life.

Student comments:

Any other things you would like to tell us about the day?

Definitely keep the idea for next year. Everybody enjoys it so much, and it is a wonderful opportunity!

Thanks so much! It was one of the best days of my life.
