Boy writes author who captured imagination
“Twelve-year-old Wesley Speer, a sixth-grader at Waldorf School of Louisville, was so moved by “The Pit Dragon Trilogy” books that he wrote author Jane Yolen, asking her to write another book in the series.
He got what he wanted.
Wesley received a letter from Yolen telling him that she was getting started on it.”
The article goes on to say how much Yolen likes getting letters from children. She first wrote the trilogy twenty years ago.
