Freestyle with Avery

Awesome idea! I'll tell Annie!

Later,

There's always another BSG coming!

Later,

Ah, that would be a spoiler, now wouldn't it? (BTW, do you girls know about "spoilers"? It's when someone posts a comment on a chat board that gives away part of the story. When you are posting a comment that would give away a major part of the story -- warn girls who might not have read it yet -- just type -- SPOILER ALERT.)

Later,

Hey Martyman,
It does seem like forever, doesn't it? The next books will be out in May -- more info coming -- keep it here!

Later,

Dear 082398princess,
Thanks for the "A!" When it comes to our books, you are the most important audience!

We'll keep our fingers crossed for you!!!

Dear sum4lyf,
Of course you are right!!! Thanks! We like it here -- there's always something fun going on and we love all the Club BSGers who visit!

TTYL, The Ave-ster

Dear monkey202,
I do think my dad is pretty awesome! And, give boarding a try -- you'll LOVE it!
TTYL,

Dear Martyman,
The next two books will be out in 2008. It takes us a while to get them printed and out to the bookstores! I can't wait either -- they are gonna be totally awesome! As soon as we can, we'll have sneak previews for all the members of Club BSG!

TTYL, The Ave-ster

The next book will be out in 2008 -- Oh, wait, that's like, only a few days. Ok, LATER in 2008. Keep your eyeballs here for more news in that department!

Dear sydneyshop,
Woof-woof!

Dear sydneyshop,
Totally awesome! While Telluride is a terrifically fantastic place in the winter -- it's pretty wonderful in the summer too! Make sure you let us here at CLUB BSG know all about your trip when you get back! Details -- we want details!

TTYL, The Ave-ster

Hey Kgirl_katani,
Gosh -- I don't know! We'll have to ask Jason that one! GTG!

Dear Hollibolly,
It's really awesome having a great group of friends like the BSG -- and, of course, Mr. Martay, too! I think the name of your club is totally rockin'!!!

Dear bellatrix4ever,
You know, each of the BSG is special to me in her own way -- that's a really hard question to answer and I certainly don't want to hurt anyone's feelings!

Dear sparkleelmo,
Jason and I have "talked" a few times since I got back via IM. Maybe I'll see him on my next trip West.

Dear american,
Each of the BSG books takes about a year from start to finish -- good thing there is always more than one going at the same time. Think of it like juggling!!!!

Dear faithfudge5012,
Hmm. I think you need to talk to your friend and ask her what she thinks. Say, hey, I've noticed that you act differently when our other friend is with us. Is that something we can talk about? You might want to think about giving her an example.

Dear hollygpink,
You know what? That's OK! Because you don't have to like everything! It's true -- different people like different things -- it is what makes the world a really cool and interesting place!

Dear colorado cutie 17,
Moving? Groan! That sounds like Bad News/Good News (book 2) all over again. Gosh -- I don't think so. I'll see if Annie will let me peek...and I'll let you know if I find out anything!

Dear colorado cutie 17,
Dad is def. a Rockies man -- although sometimes I wonder if it is just to kid around with me that he likes them so much.

Wow, more coooool places in CO to visit! Am putting Copper Mountain on the list too!

Dear sportgirl2,
AWESOME! I'll ask Dad if we can check it out on my next trip out to visit!

Dear tinkerbell95,
I will be 13 on my next birthday -- it just hasn't come yet! (Actually, I am 12 1/2 now!) LOL

Dear Jinpeg,
We are working on a dress up game for me too! Meanwhile, I love playing with Mr. Martay's dress up game -- Marty mail -- what a cutie!

Three words: you. go. girl!!!!

Dear QTPie,
That happens to me sometimes too -- I get all comfy with a book and somebody wants me for something! Sometimes, I hide in my closet so no one can find me! LOL

Dear bella,
I do have all the BSG books! I keep them on a very special shelf in my room -- I don't put them in the closet 'cause I might never see them again!!!! LOL!

Hey Avery4ever,
Yessirree! Next year Katani and Isabel will go on Special Adventures!

U go, girl!

Hey bgirl 1,
That's what we're here for! I have big brothers and they can get me so upset! Maeve has a little brother and sometimes we talk about which is worse! But you know, I wouldn't trade them for the world!

Dear bgirl1,
LOL! I have to admit that my older brothers both had to read it too! For the ultra-cool boarding scenes! Plus, they are HUGE fans of Ms. Lindsey Jacobellis -- who just happens to appear in the book! Watch for her on the X-Games!

Dear Mr.martaydude101,
Totally awesome! Write back when you are done and let us know what you think -- there are a lot of girls looking for a really good review of the book!

Dear E4ever,
Yup! That's the plan! First all the BSG will get their own book and then we'll each get a second one, and maybe a third, and maybe a ... well, you get the idea! Where should I go next??? What do you think?

Dear mileyfan112324,
That's soooo cool! Did you recognize places in the book?

Dear bffwithmags,
YES, of course there will be a 13 -- but first there must be a 12! LOL! I know WAY confusing -- there are 14 BSG books, 11 regular books and 3 special adventure books! The "regular" books get the numbers -- the most recent one was Ghost Town -- that was number 11!

Dear daddiesgirl312,
SOOON -- but not soon enough for me (and a whole bunch o' BSG fans, too!) As of right now there are 14 BSG books -- 11 numbered books and 3 special adventures.

Dear purplishgirl9236,
Hmm, it probably does seem a little odd for me to be reading the BSG books, doesn't it?!?!? I guess I like them because they are cool books about girls just like me -- actually, exactly like me!!!

Dear 1zaclover11,
Freestyle did ship out to most bookstores in October. If your local bookstore doesn't have it -- you may need to ask them to order it - maybe they already sold out of it -- it's such a fun story! (Or, check in with your local library!)

Dear brettfurby,
That's so cool that your teacher likes it too! (Do you have BSG books in your school or classroom library?) A lot of teachers get downloadable activity guides from the "grown-up" portion of our website. There are only a few of the guides there now but more are coming.

Dear PrincessPea13,
I'm not sure I would think of Kazie as mean...more like misunderstood!

Dear ilovekatani!101
We're soooo glad you're a member of the club too!

Gosh, thanks! (BLUSH!)

I don't really think of Mr. Martay "belonging" to any of us -- more like we belong to HIM!

Hmm, have you been hanging out at the Tower and listening in?

Aw, THANKS! We like it!!

Wow, that's going WAY back -- Bunny Madden debuted in MLB way back in 1909! (He was a catcher.) I'd much rather think about Madden and baseball than football! There's another connection to the Madden name -- the so-called Madden Curse! The Madden Cover Jinx is a myth involving the video game series Madden NFL. It says that the season a player appears on the cover, that player will be cursed with either an injury or poor performance! Look out!

Gee whiz 4kicks2931,
Um, can we talk about something else? This sounds more like a Maeve conversation than an Avery conversation. Let me get back to you on that one.

Later -- much later --



P.S. OK, it's later and I have been thinking about how I feel about Jason. I just don't know, you know? I had a great time hanging out with Jason but he lives so far away...

What do you think, girls? Long distance friendships? Are they cool?

Dear E4ever,
Woo-hoo -- I am the World's BIGGEST FAN of the 2007 World Champion (AGAIN) Boston Red Sox! I am sorry to have to admit that my Dad likes that "other" team!

Dear Ivynow741,
Well, you know Maeve, she was all hyped up about what she did on her break, so I didn't really have a chance to tell them about it in great detail.

Dear Auston,
That's a really good question. Right now, Freestyle is the obvious choice for me but I have to admit that I usually like the one I am reading RIGHT NOW the best!

Dear Animalsportsfreak,
Another awesome question! And an Awesome idea! Me and Mr. Martay will take it up with Annie!

Dear cottoncandy27,
Cool, which book are you starting with?

Dear ivynow741,
Yup, we had a big sleepover/meeting of the BSG in the Tower to catch up on what everyone did over vacation!

And, yes, Jason was pretty cool to hang out with in Telluride.

Dear beaconmaniac,
I promise I'll be extra careful -- LOL
Whee!!!!

Hmmmm, how do I talk my dad into making some side trips during my next trip out there?
Later,

LOL!

Later,

Hey Tinabina - I'm good -- I'm flyin' -- actually, between the World Series and Halloween -- I'M TIRED!!!

How R U? What did you think of my book?

Later,

LOL -- Have you been talking to my dad? Actually, DAD, is that U?

Sorry, Club BSG-ers -- U know my dad lives in Colorado, right? Well, I think he's sneaking onto the board here to give me grief about my beloved SOX!

Later,

Hey Kgirl#2 - Snurfing is the next best thing to FLYING! Think flying down the mountain, crisp wind in your face, and then SPLAT into a snowbank. LOL!

Later,


PS -- Snurfing = snowboarding

Hey xbsgoverx11,
I'll bet you do get a lot of grief because Boston is home to RED SOX NATION!!!!! But, you know, it's OK that you like the Yankees, so long as you are a true-blue fan! Must admit though, we're doing the super-happy dance here today because Boston won the World Series AGAIN!

Hey Martyman,
Freestyle is a BSG Special Adventure book, STARRING MEEEEE! The BSG Special Adventure books (like Charlotte in Paris, Maeve on the Red Carpet, and now my book) aren't numbered like books in the regular series. Watch for more BSG Special Adventures, coming soon!
