Made Our Day

Burn Bright gets lots of lovely mail from readers but occasionally one will stand out and totally make our day. Kudos to Terrie for having a passion for books and literature and wanting to nurture it in others.  With her permission we’re sharing it:

Dear Marianne,

I am writing today to ask if you would consider sending me a review copy of Burn Bright. As you know, your novel has created quite a stir in the U.S.

A little about me … I am currently a long-term substitute teacher and also pursuing my single subject English credential. I plan to apply for Teach for America corps next year. I believe that kids need to have passion for reading, but as you know sometimes it takes the right book and genre to do it.

I make it a regular habit to recommend excellent YA fiction books and authors to the kids. The kids in my class have actually asked for this book … in particular. Even if it is only 1 copy that I loan out, it is obviously something the kids and myself are both excited about. Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Terrie Bissonnette
