hi ed! I liked meeting up with King Arthur in Screeps. It was fun to meet him there!

I loved the surprise of who was met in Muselings. My nephew told me I would love it and he would not give away who it was. Lots of fun for young and old alike!

I will pass the word on to my sister and nephews about suggestions for revised editions. What an honor to have you ask!

If you or other readers have any suggestions for the revised editions of Screeps & Muselings - which I expect to get round to sometime this year - please do pass them on (edddwicke@hotmail.com). Which was the “certain character” you mentioned in the blog which made the book more interesting?

Thanks

wow ed, thanks for visiting my lowly blog and for leaving a comment! (and for trying more than once to leave it!) what an honor to have an author stop by and comment!! my nephew likes Muselings and Screeps both. Will have to look for your “Wicked Tales”. I bet the kids you visit love hearing your tales! thanks again for the comments!

I’m not sure how one submits a comment - am new to this & tried yesterday without success!

I’m gratified to find that someone is reading Muselings & Screeps after all these years. I often toy with the idea of bringing them out again, plus the third book that’s written in my head.

I’ve written a further 7 books, all for 8 - 12 year olds. The one that children love most is “Wicked Tales”, which are some of the stories I tell when I visit schools in England and northwest Florida!

I always liked that Agatha Christie play.

I think I’ll check out Muselings for my third grader… though I’ll skip the other one for now (I don’t like the idea of ‘going out’ in fifth grade, either) We’re working hard on his reading - it doesn’t come as easily to him as it did to oldest daughter - but she has to work at math, and math comes easy to my third grader… they each have different things to work at and that come easier to them.

Anyway, I don’t know what reading level your nephew’s at, but my third grader really liked Rotten School by RL Stine. I didn’t notice anything too adult in the ones I read with him, either. You might like those.

I like And Then There Were None too, but like the book better than either the film or play.

I have the same feeling about Muselings and Screeps, I am so glad he read them. really good for him. found some things in there that I think he could identify with as well and maybe some subconscious things he could never express…

That looks like a fun list! I love And Then There Were None.

I liked Muselings better than Screeps too, but found both OK overall, and was glad that my nephew got into reading them. I think it helped him think reading A WHOLE BOOK was something cool, so that was a good result!
