Book order form
Before I come to your school, it's nice to offer children and their parents the chance to buy my books. You can copy and paste the text below into your word processor, tailoring it to meet your needs. It will fit on one page. I like it in 10 point Verdana font, and you need to monkey with the margins a little. The prices include sales tax, and I have rounded down to the nearest quarter, in order to avoid dealing with sticky pennies.
Please email me, if you would like to use my books as a fundraiser at your school, because I am happy to donate back part of the proceeds to benefit your students.

Here is what the reviewers say about Ms. Stewart’s books:
The Bean King’s Daughter: "...While Lemony Snicket fans may be drawn to this book in search of yet another tale of orphan woe, they'll find a coming of age story told with insight and humor. ...Phoebe's journey is much more than a change of scenery -- it's a change of heart. Recommended." from LIBRARY TALK
Close Encounters of a Third-World Kind: "It's unusual for a novel this breezy and easy-reading to tackle such challenging themes, but this one manages to bring genuine good humor to this story of an eye-opening journey." from THE BULLETIN OF THE CENTER FOR CHILDREN'S BOOKS
If That Breathes Fire, We’re Toast!: "The story beautifully blends fantasy and reality. This book is tough to put down!" from CHILDREN'S LITERATURE
