It's nice to have a fun ghost story instead of a scary one for kids.
On the same order, my wish would be to once again see people who are no longer with me again and enjoy their company.

Dear April--
Thank you so much for your great review and for hosting Katie & Kimble Day. I can see how much work you went to--it's marvelous!
Interesting note: You know how writers generally create a big back story for their books? It's sort of like the unseen fabric that holds the story together. In Katie & Kimble: A Ghost Story, we learn that Katie's birthday is in the beginning of June, but the exact date is never mentioned. So, I think it is rather amazing that you chose June 5 as Katie & Kimble Day because June 5 is actually Katie's birthday!
Again, many thanks! I am very grateful.

I've read both of these and truly enjoyed them. Linda went on a virtual book tour with the first book in January 2009. If your readers stop by http://virtualbooktours.wordpress.com/2009/01/ they'll find links to the blogs she stopped at and get to read even more about these books.
I can't wait until the next book in this series comes out.

These books are wonderful, and I would love to win the set of two books for my grandson.
I wish that I could spend some time with an old friend whose friendship was lost. I would love to make things right and hear both of our sides of the story.
Thank you,
Christine

These books sound great
I would wish for time with my grandma to say a proper goodbye
i wish to be the best gambler in the world mverno@roadrunner.com
This book would be perfect for my granddaughter - she's a big reader, the right age, and I try to encourage her reading as much as possible since neither of her folks read much.
My 2 day wish? I'd like a portal into the afterlife so we'd have an idea of what is to come. (However I don't want to be scared to death ... so maybe that's not such a great wish.
I'm with mverno. I wish I got on a gambling lucky streak that way I can fulfill the wish to not have to work and read all day.
The books sound great. My daughter would get a kick out of them because the girl and the ghost girls are about the same age as she is. She is always tickled to read books about children her age.
If I could have a wish come true for 2 days, I would wish to see my Grandmother again. It would be great to spend 2 days with her talking and learning more of my family's history. She died before I was old enough to ask her all the important questions.
These sound so great for kids and would encourage reading...really neat. ruthing73 at hotmail dot com
My daughter loves to read so I am entering for her
tell me what you would wish for, if you had one wish that could only last two days, after which time it would no longer exist (this for a second entry)..I'd wish Grampa was alive so I could spend those two days completely with him
I have some friends who are elementary and middle school teachers who will especially appreciate this. Thanks for the info. I pass it all on through the grapevine!
what great books to give to the grandkids if I win or leave them here for when they come here.
I wish for 2 days to see my bff; we haven't seen each other in over 20 yrs. but keep in contact via phone and e-mail. She has lost a leg and I've got breast cancer so it would be good to get together again.
A fun ghoast story that will fasinate for years to come..It gets my attention and the children's.
If I could have a wish for two days I would be camping in a tent with many books-Reading in a tent
LDPD@netzero.com
As a Nana to 4 grandchildren, I am always encouraging reading.
My wish would be for all of my grandchildren to live happy, healthy lives.
My second wish would be a fabulous trip to St.Petersburg, Russia. Although I am sure 2 days would not be enough, but a heck of a start.
My son would love these books.
If I had one wish and lasted only for two days...It would be something crazy like being a big rock star. I could see what it is like to be known by all and living an insane life. I think after I would be happy to go back to my quiet uneventful life

Interesting, I would wish for superb good health in the hopes that it would encourage me to attain and maintain that once the "wish" disappeared.
I would wish to be able to spend time for two days with my godson that was taken away at 21 such a sad loss for the whole family. It has been 20 years ago it happened and we still miss him so.
My daughter is at this age group for reading and would love these she has to read a lot of books over the summer. Thanks
These look interesting. Thanks.
Hi! Just posted this on Win A Book.
These books sound like a lot of fun; I'd like to read them.
What would I wish for? Maybe I'd wish for a private concord so that we could head overseas to introduce our baby girl to my husband's family and our very dear friend, Tanya.
