Hi Ella - sounds like an exciting book, though I was a little confused at the end of your first paragraph..."Apparently - accidentally". Remember to proofread your work before publishing (capital letters, does it make sense to the reader?)

How would you rate this book? Did you love it? I like the way you finished it off with a question to hook your readers with a little intrigue. Well done.

Saw your Mum's parents at Bunnings at the weekend. They are keenly looking forward to your return, as are we. Enjoy the rest of your time in the U.S.. See you soon. Whaea Jane
