  • OPPS! Ran out of letters! Right now I am working towards writing my first graphic novel & I owe a big thank you for turning my imagination on Betsy Byars, because it's never shut off since I read that book! I still have that book & I still like to read. Plus, when it comes to writing, this lady is right about everything that speaks about in this video! (I speak with experience because I have dabbled in short stories already.) Thanks for the interview! I love Betsy Byar's work! She is incredible!

  • I owe this wonderful writer a thank you! Why? She first turned on my imagination when my Mom bought me a book ca;;ed "The T.V. Kid".A great story about a boy who daydreams about being on t.v., until he has an encounter with a snake that becomes a really close call! <y Mom nought it for me because I was that kid! I daydreamed & wanted to be on t.v.! I swear my Mom bought to discourage me, but her plan backfired.I still want to be an actor, but also cartoonist & a movie Director!

  • I absolutely adored The Pinballs and read it to many classes.

  • Goodbye chicken little

  • I remember reading quite a few of her books when I was a kid!
