Skyping with author of "Stanley and Katrina", Felicia M., age 10



What a nice treat for our 2nd graders this week!  For Children's Book Week in May, we read Stanley and Katrina:  the Perpetual Pack of Papers, written by child author, Felicia, a.k.a. "Neighbor Girl".  Felicia's writing skills and wittiness are far beyond her peers.  Only 10 years old, Felicia fielded questions from more than 80 2nd graders that were beyond excited to Skype with her.


This is some of what we learned about Felicia:  

  • She doesn't own a dog or a cat.
  • She has no pets right now, but she used to have two hamsters.
  • Her favorite color is blue.
  • She likes crafts and karate.
  • Her favorite author is Rick Riordan.
  • Her book took about a month to write.
  • She is finishing 6th grade.
  • She was inspired to write a novel because of National Novel Writing Month.
If you would like to check out Felicia's book, you can download it on kindle or order a print copy from her website http://www.stanleyandkatrina.com
