Dear Mary Cunningham,

I love your books! I am already on book 3#. My favorite book is 1#The Missing Locket. My favorite part is when Cynthia and Gus try to make Louis's father laugh.It is so funny!

 

I would like to know if you have a bell shaped locket and what is book # 4 called?  Are you already done with it?  Please, please write back soon.

 

Your eager book reader,

Morgan

P.S. I live in Corydon, Indiana.   I would rate your books  5 star.  Please send me some writing tips because I want to be an author.

 

  

Dear  Mary  Cunningham,

 

I’ve been listening to Mrs. Smith read your 1st book. We’re not done yet but I love them so much and I feel like I am really there. I was just wondering what your inspiration was to start writing Cynthia’s Attic? What is your favorite book you have written so far? Is there really a locket? Did the locket really go missing?

 

From Karson, a big fan

P. S. Do you have any pets?

 

Dear Mrs.Cunningham,

 

I love your first book Cynthia's Attic the Missing Locket. Mrs. Smith has been telling us about you and your other great books. Why do you enjoy writing? It is really neat how you include Corydon and some of its history. We are on chapter thirteen of the first book. I just L-O-V-E, love, love, love your first book. What is the question you get from kids? What inspires you to write? What is the best part about your writing. About how many e-mails do you get a year? I am so glad you are a writer.

 

Mrs. Smith showed us your 3rd book when you put her students in it. I have lived here for 5 years and have learned much history but your book has taught me more of it. When I first heard that your book was based on Corydon I was surprised. I had never heard of a book based on my favorite town. I rate your book all the stars in the sky.

Sincerely,

 

Alysa

Emails from Mrs. Smith's great 4th grade class (2006-2007) in Corydon, Indiana!

 

Dear Mrs.Cunningham,

I really like Cynthia's Attic. My favorite part of the book is when Gus bumps into her great grandmother Bess. Some kids and I in the class were wondering when you send us a copy of book 2 could you put Mrs.Smith's great kids of class 06 and 07.

thank you, Jacob.

 

Dear Mrs.Cunningham

I love when Mrs.Smith starts reading "Cynthia's Attic." I really like the part when Gus crashes into her great grandmother when she was riding her bike. She fell into the bushes, and when Gus looked to see who was in the bushes her face went pale. She started running like a mad man! That was so funny!

Thank you a lot for getting us the second copy of "Cynthia's Attic". That will be awesome. Thanks a whole bunch, Michael.

 

I like the part about where Bess and Clara run into themselves.  Also how many series did you write?  One more thing do you like writing books?  Cassidy Saulman

 

Hey Mary Cunningham!

I love your book. It is scary, funny, and mysterious all at the same time. It's an awesome story, I just can't wait till Mrs. Smith reads another chapter! I'm just so into it! It's a great book. Have you written any other series or books? How many more have written? Thank you for letting us e-mail you. I'm having so much fun! Well hope to see you respond, bye!! Kelsey Smith

Hello Ms. Cunningham!!

I love your book that Mrs. Smith is reading to us. I like when Gus and Cynthia go back through time and meet their great, great grandmothers. Also I have a question. Have you written any more books? If so, how many have you written. I really can't wait for Mrs. Smith to finish it.  It's a great book! Sincerely, Rayna Kennedy

 

 

A "proud" grandmother from Fort Myers forwarded this e-mail from her granddaughter, Katelyn.
 
Thank You so much for the Missing Locket book. I have already read it and am reading it again. Since I can't put into words how much I appreciated it I will just tell you what happened in it. These to girls where brought back in time were they meet their great- great grandmothers as children. They discover a missing locket that has disapeared and are trying to find it. On their way they meet a special  Aunt who has disapeard and have to try to save both her and the missing locket before it is to late.
                                                       Lots of love,
                                                                             katelyn

another one.  I know   it's going to be great. -Jessenia

 

*Cynthia's Attic is a great book.  I love the part when Cynthia knocks Andre into the lifeboat.  I also like the part when Gus picks up the apple and it looks like the

apple is floating. -Ben

 

*Why did Andre cheat on Belle and then want a second chance?  Then if   he loved her why did he try to kill her?  I have one more question, how   were the clothes able to get them to the past?  The thing that I like about   the book is that they have a lot of adventures.  I never have had an   adventure in my life. -Paige

  apple and the lady screamed.  And when Aunt Belle was telling the   stories.  But I'm just like Cynthia, a girly girl. -Charmain

 

*I liked the whole book.  But my favorite parts are when Cynthia pushed

  Andre off the boat, my other favorite part is when Gus said it would have

  the Cynthia's Attic.  I hope it's the best like the first one. -from Tattyanna

 

*I like the part when Gus and Cynthia are ghosts.  What will the next story

  title be? -Dudley
