Just a quick note to say a huge "thank you" for visiting our school and talking to our pupils about your work.  The children and  staff found your presentations fascinating and inspiring.  Through listening to your experiences and anecdotes, I am sure that their interest in reading and writing has increased, and maybe, hopefully we might find that some of them decide to emulate you and apsire to become writers themselves.  It was so kind of you to give of your time and share your talents with us.  I do hope that you will consider visiting our school again in the future.

Everyone enjoyed your talk, especially the teachers!  Thank you very much.  Let us know when you get your second book published.  I am sure that the children would love to read it.

C. Cromack, Headteacher - Enfield Primary School, New Waltham

 

Thank you for the brilliant story you told us about your book.  It's making me want to publish loads of books.  I hope that I can read your book.  I think it's going to be interesting.  I really wish you could come back.  I can't wait for your next book.  Keep up the good work and you will become a mega author.

Thank you for your time in our school.  All of my class loved your book, and I am looking forward to book 2.

I loved your book

Alex - Humberston CoE Primary School

 

I really loved your book - it was so funny.  I really did want to buy your book at Lisle Marsden but didn't have enough money with me at the time.  All of my friends at school couldn't stop talking about talking about Benson and the Wishing Machine that day.  It is an amazing book.

I think Susan Dodd has grasped the reader's mind in her book.  It is so detailed you can picture the story in your mind.  Once I started reading it I could not put it down, it only took me a day to finish it!  I hope that Susan does write another book and that it will be as fantastic as the first.

I enjoyed your visit today.  It was really interesting.  I am going to find your book in the library.

Please can you sign my book for me.  I think it is cool the way you describe words.

Thank you for taking the time to read your book at my school.  I enjoyed the story and have asked for it for my birthday.

Hi, you visited Middlethorpe on Friday 9th March 2007 and I was there, but surprisingly I bought the book before you came to visit us, well, it wasn't me that bought it, it was a Christmas gift.  I'd like to be an author myself, perhaps I can send you one of my short stories.  I am in the middle of the book now.

Jack - Middlethorpe Primary School

 

Susan, I like your story a lot.  I am 9 years old.

Dear Mrs and Mr Dodd 

I would like to inform you that your trip to Partney C.E. (Aided) School was very fascinating and interesting, and I appreciated fully the time you spent in coming and talking to us, and maybe you have inspired  many children to become great writers.  I  thoroughly   enjoyed your reading of your new and exciting children's novel "Benson and the Wishing Machine".  I am definitely going to buy your book as I am eager to read a book by an author who I have actually met.
