Autograph

Last night we went to the Orem Library to hear Brandon Mull speak. He is the author of The Candy Shop War and Fablehaven. I read The Candy Shop War to Aiden this summer and we both really enjoyed it, so when Aiden heard he was speaking he really wanted to go. He was very entertaining and it was a fun night. Afterward he was signing autographs and Aiden had brought his book so of course he wanted it signed.

We waited in line for and hour. Aiden said, "It was totally worth it!" Brandon Mull was very nice and it was fun to see Aiden get excited over an author.

Aiden and Brandon Mull.
We haven't read Fablehaven...has anybody, and are they good? I think Aiden was about the only one there with a The Candy Shop War book, everybody else had Fablehaven. We might have to give it a try.
Eliza and Jack and Russell did not want to wait for an hour for the book signing, so Russell called his mom to come and pick them up. Isn't it nice that even at 34 you can call your mom to pick you up from the library and she will!! :)

I would have totally gone to that. I've read Fablehaven, but I haven't read Candy shop wars. I like Fablehaven more than I thought I would. I thought it was really creative. It's worth a try.

I really enjoyed Fablehaven. So good and now I know I need to grap the CandyShop Wars too. What a great way to keep a child excited about books!

You know the corn maze at Cornbellys this year spells out Fablehaven. The kids would probley love that. We went the other night and it was super fun.

BTW, it's so great that Aiden loves to read and gets into it so much!
