Marcus,
Dude, my kids love the book that you wrote. Black Day: Monster Rock Band is a great story! Every single day, they come home from school, throw down their bags, and beg us to play the Black Day DVD on repeat. Then we read the book before bed. My husband is learning to play the song on his guitar so that they can sing it all the time.
We love Halloween in our house, so the story is perfect, especially for this time of year. I asked Ellie to tell me what her favorite part of the story is and she told us “pretty much everything.” Tessa loves to sing the song. It’s still hard for her to sing most of it, but she is really good at saying “black day” now.
We are so glad that we got to meet you at the NADS Conference. Ellie tells all her friends that you signed her book. It made her so happy. Your mom is so awesome! I hope you can come back to Chicago again soon. My girls would love to meet you!
Let us know when we can buy the sequel!
