I am writing to you to request a small donation to our school.
We are in the process of preparing our students for the California Standardized Test. I am trying to put together a contest and a fun day for the students to come forward to answer practice questions. Our goal is to have an array of small prizes available for the students to incentivize them to participate in a school wide study event. The benefit for all of is a better educated generation to succeed us.
I am sure that you will agree that education is at the heart of our nation and that many children need some type of reward to take the challenge to step out of their comfort zone. We would embrace your help in working with us to achieve the goals set.
Here is our Non- Profit Tax ID 20-3182558
Our school has 1,000 students. Last year we surpassed our goal and this year we would like to do the same. Please help us in the endeavor. We would appreciate any donations or other help you may want to provide. If you would be so kind as to respond by March 31, 2011.
If you have any questions feel free to contact: Sheryl Martin 714.488.9751 or

I'm confused about the next 39 clues series about the Vespers.
Are the clues that have not been founded still spread across the world? And if they are, does that mean the second series is about the Cahills protecting the founded clues from the Vespers and trying to find the ones that haven't been founded before the Vespers get their hands on them?

Hi Mr. Lerangis. I've been wondering for a while if you're going to pick up where you left off with the Spy X series. You left on a major cliffhanger, and I keep wondering what happened after Evie and Andrew realized what Mad Mike's secret code was. Are you going to write more Spy X books? I think it would be awesome if you would tell more about Evie and Andrew.
About the 39 Clues series...Are Amy and Ian going to get together? I think they should. Ian was only a jerk because he was under his mother's influence. Left to himself, I think he (and Natalie too) would be really good people. I think he would be a good guy. And Dan...well, he's Dan. He's kind of hard to predict. But I think the Cahill siblings will have fun with whatever life throws at them.

Hey again!
My research report went very well! A lot of my friends were interested in you. Some of my friends even wanted to know the name of this website!

Dear Peter Lerangis,
Hi! I just wanted to say that at school we had to pick an author to research and I picked you! That's why I'm researching you right now! Oh, and do you have any hobbies other than writing that you like to do at home?
Thanks!

Dear Peter.
I know Ian and Amy can like each other because they're related by one gene, but I just realised that Amy's father Arthur and Ian's mother Isabel, which means Arthur and Isabel are possibly cousins. So how can Ian and Amy like each other if they're even more related.

Dear Peter Lerangis.
There is one thing I want to suggest to you about
the 39 clues series.
I noticed the Madrigal branch doesn't have a mascot like Lucian (snake), Ekaterina (dragon), Tomas (bear) and Janus---my branch (wolf).
So I would like to suggest the black panther as the Madrigal mascot because:
1. They're stealthy.
2. They're black (the official colour of the Madrigals).
3. They're mysterious.
So perhaps you could suggest the idea to whoever created the 39 clues. Please.

Peter,
Once again thank you so much for your help. I am sure that you had something to do with the success I've had this morning.
The Scholastic Store in Soho are arranging the books to be posted to me in today.
I know Ben is going to be one very happy boy.
Keep up the great work. There is nothing better then seeing young kids enjoying reading and that only comes from very cleaver creative people like yourself.

Peter,
Thanks so much for responding so quickly.
Unfortunately the Scholastic On-Line store does not accept orders from outside USA and I've emailed their Customer service as well to no avail.
But more than happy to try again, if you don't mind me telling them that you said they should be able to help?
Thanks Again
Craig

Hi Peter,
Can you please help me.
My son (Ben - 11yo) loves the 39 Clues books. He's read 4 of them so far, by borrowing them from friends.
It's his birthday shortly and I really want to get him the Boxed Set of all 10 books plus the Black Book of Buried Secrets. I have been trying for 4 weeks now I can't find anyone in the USA to buy it from that will post it to me and the Book Retailers in Australia are trying to tell me that it doesn't exist.
So seeing the Retailers and your Publisher (I assume that's Scholastic) wont/cant help me I was hoping that if I ask the Authors directly, you will. PLEASE.

Mr. Lerangis, I am home schooled. I am reading The Sword Thief and my mom makes me define words I do not know. On page 66 (or the page with the +) you used the word caromed. When I looked up the word, the definition was about billiards. This did not make sense to me. Is there another definition? What were you trying to say there? Thank you, I think your book is great!

Dear Peter Lerangis,
Hi my name is Ethan PateI. I am 10 years old and live in Acton, MA. I read your book The 39 Clues; The Viper’s Nest. I heard about a new series called Cahills vs. Vespers and can’t wait for the book you write.
My favorite part in The Viper’s Nest was when Dan, Amy, Nellie, Professor Bardsley and his students escaped from the Tomas stronghold. I liked how Dan came up with capturing the Tomas in the hunting trap. And I think it was funny when Amy threw the diamond bracelet in the trap and Nellie said “That could have paid off my MasterCard!” I also liked when Amy and Dan realized they were Madrigals.
My opinion about the overall book was that it was amazing and the best 39 Clues book I’ve read so far (I’m on book eight). Though I think in chapter 8 Nellie should have decoded the Morse code because then Amy and Dan would have gotten suspicious about the whole “super au pair” thing sooner. Besides that I thought the book was funny, exciting, enjoyable, and entertaining. All of your books have those traits and I think that’s what makes you an amazing writer.
One of my connections to the story is that I have a very annoying sister just like Dan, but wouldn’t want to lose her. Another connection is I have a pet I love very much. The last connection I have is that I have a very mean aunt like Amy and Dan. These are some of the things I have in common with your book.
I have a few questions for you:
1. Do you and the others authors of the 39 Clues series work together on what to write in each book or is it the author of each book’s job to pick up where the series left off?
2. Do you answer all your fan mail?
3. When you were my age what did you want to be when you grew up? If you aren’t doing that job, why aren’t you?
If you could please answer these questions in your response it would make me very happy.
Sincerely,
Ethan Patel
