Sending Valentine’s Love and Good Tidings (tidings = news!)
Ok, so here’s the thing. You guys are AWESOME! And you’re not afraid to ask for what you want, that’s for sure! I’m sorry for the wait…but here goes. Like I said…two sequels. One I still can’t officially tell you for a few more days, (but if I HAD to give a hint…I’d say it has something to do with candy! ;o)
But there’s one other I CAN tell you about…
So when I wrote THE LAST PRESENT, I really intended it to wrap up everything in the Willow Falls series. But somehow I must not have been quite ready to say goodbye because I wrote that pesky last chapter from Grace’s point of view. So I guess it wouldn’t be fair not to let you guys know what happens to Grace now that she’s..well, let’s just say “different!” All the other characters will still be around to help her (some in bigger roles than others), but this will be Grace’s adventure. Willow Falls lives on!
Now off I go to sleep so I can wake up tomorrow and start writing! I have to be sure to get the book out before you guys forget all about it. :o)
Happy Valentine’s Day!

Wendy

PS THANK YOUUUU 😀 😀 😀 😀
Btw, You made my day Wendy 😀
really! I’ve been checking your website every day to see if there is something new and i braced myself for when i clicked on blog. and here it is! what i have been waiting for,for like 3 weeks! and wow! so i’m just clearing this up. are you writing a new book in the willow falls series???? (if so) AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! that is sooooooooooo awesome!!!!! man i am now totally ecstatic even though i’m not showing it i totally am! just can you make sure that Leo and Amanda and Rory and Tara and David and all those characters can all still be a big part in the book. they were the people that like made me happy and all giddy and made me squeal like a little tiny girl getting to go to a one direction concert. (not necessarily a little girl more like 11-16 year old girls) OK now i am so excited. make it happen soon! (not to be bossy but PLEASE)
Hmm…ok, i’ll go back into the post to make it clearer…but Yes! So you can stop checking now. ;o)
Love your enthusiasm!
xo

oops! sorry. i didn’t actually read the post completely i just stopped after you said “different” mostly just because i was so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you so, so (as many “so’s” as above times twenty-seven), so, so much! Man i just really, really want to read this book right now but i know that, that would be physically impossible (unless i proof-read every single on of your chapters which is also impossible) man i just wish you could give us any kind of spoilers! oh, and if all of the characters are 15 years old (comment from below) then that means that Rory and Jake CAN date (in case you forgot). can you please tell us what you have in mind as the title of the book? if you do that than maybe we can help you! *wink* i just wanted to thank you again and i am so happy that you did this. i haven’t screamed yet but i have been screaming for the past three days! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (there it is) although i have squealed several times. oh i’m just so happy! thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you so, so much! EEEEEEE!! i’m so happy!!
omg omg omgggggg!!! PLEASE MAKE AMANDA AND LEO AND OFFICIAL COUPLE IN THE BOOK! I LOVE THEM SO MUCH AND THEY ARE MY MOST FAVORITE CHARACTERS AND WOULD BE A PERFECT MATCH! When I read your newest blog, I started screaming! my sister was like: calm down!!!!!!! i’m sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo happy! u just made my valentines day!!! i love u and ur books sooo much! i would be soooo happy if you take this into consideration and make amanda and leo a couple!!!! Who’s point of veiw are u going to make it on? Grace? If you do, then still please make amanda and leo a couple! thank you so very much and a very special valentines day for you!!!!! <3! You are so nice and kind and you listen to everyone's wishes! keep writing! ur fan ~Cloe
HI Cloe! love the omg’s! Don’t worry, all the couples will still be there even though Grace’s story will be the focus. Amanda and Leo are the most familiar with the magical goings-on in town so they will definitely have to help out a lot. :o)
xo,
Wendy
Dear Mrs. Mass,
I’d like to say how long I have been waiting to hear what your “tidings” were, and to thank you for always making your readers’ hopes come true! Ever since you wrote about it in December, I checked your post every day to see if you had posted your sequel news, and I am so excited to hear that I have those two tidings to look forward to! That made my day, just as it did to all of your devoted readers/fans.
Thank you,
Sarah
P.S. No sequel to Every Soul a Star? I was also hoping to someday read about Ally’s life in Chicago…that would make a great book about trying to fit in despite how unique you are. And Bree’s new life in the wilderness just promises such character development even further than the first book. 😉
HI Sarah! Yay, now you don’t have to check every day. :o)
I really do want to do something with Every Soul, maybe short stories for each character…it will have to wait a while though…I do think about those characters and that story. This spring (if it EVER STOPS SNOWING) my family and I are building a labyrinth in our backyard. I kind of fell in love with them after researching them for the book.
Back to work I go!
xo
Wendy
I can’t believe you’re writing a new Willow Falls book! I love the stories and the town so much, and you’ve written it in a way that makes the characters and town feel real, which makes the story come alive. I’ve just finished reading The Last Present (again!) so I’m so excited for another Willow Falls book!
I can’t wait to read the new book also I want the main characters from the last book to still be main ones
Yes! The Willow Falls is one of my favorites, I think, of your books. I can’t wait to read it when it comes out… oh my, that’s going to be a long way away, isn’t it? Sometimes, I like to daydream about what happened to some of the characters after Last Present. Particularly Rory and Jake, who are, for whatever reason, probably my favorite.
That is really awesome, though. 😀
It won’t be too long…a little over a year. Ok, I know that sounds long, but in the publishing world it really isn’t. :o)
Well, hopefully we can all survive a year until that happens…but at least it’s only ONE year, and not like two or three, like what some authors do to us poor readers. 😀
omg! woo hoo! are you still going to talk about the couples like amanda and leo and if they’re an OFFICIAL couple? You just made my day!! write back!! love u and ur books!
p.s. oh don’t worry, NO ONE’S going to forget about this!
I am so glad you are writing another book!!i started reading like a week ago and haven’t stopped since .i read 11 birthdays and it was awesome . Then I begged my mom to bring me to the public library to get finally . And then my mom bought the last two online and I literally stayed up till 2 in the morning reading , but it was fall break anyways.Iactually discovered your books at my library at school and read the first one in a day !!! When I finished reading The Last Present i re read all the good parts , especially the Amanda and Leo parts, and I fell in love with the books . Then I felt sad that it was the last one , so I went to this website and found out that you were making another one … I am also exited about how everyone turns out and how grace is doing with things in her point of view .I definitely would like to see more of Leo and Amanda as a couple , and Rory and Tara with their relationships also .
Sincerely. ,Sara.
I AM SO HAPPY!! OMG! THANK YOU!!! I always check your website for this day 2 happen! THANK YOU! Im jumping up and down right now! YOU ARE DE BEST AUTHOR EVERRRRR!!! I cant stop smiling. Im so happy, THANK YOU! I need more Leo and Amanda, Tara and David (I rlly need more of them), Rory and Jake, and GRACE!!!! My sis (Emily up there) told me about this, first she screamed, then she started jumping up and down, and then she wouldnt get off the comp… Now she finally managed to get off and i got on, And started writing this. But i am SOOO happy! Thank you so much for making me and my sister happy! And Emily is right, you are a generous person!
~Emma 😀
PS Thank you so much Wendy, me and Emily always read together when we read your books and you always make us happy. Thank you for everything Wendy.
Hi Emma! I love that you guys read the books together, that’s sooo nice!! My sisters and I used to make each other check out books from our room like they were library books. We made up stamps with dates on them that they were due by. Then if they were late the other person had to clean the others room. :o)
Thanks for your great letter.
xo
Wendy
Omigod! Amazing, you are a miracle Mrs. Mass! Yay! SO excited!
Happy Valentines Day! How was your valentines day? Hope it was great!
I love u some much!!! Today I got 2 books from u! I can’t put them down! I love willow falls too. Btw I got a mango shaped space and 13 gifts
Thank you so much for sharing this with us!I started to get very worried that The Last Present will be the last Willow Falls book you will write.But nope!Now it won’t be!Thank you so much!11 birthdays and The Last Present are my favorite books,so this news means a lot to me!Keep up the great work.You’re my favorite author!I will wait for this book patiently.I will make a goal that once it comes out,I will buy it right away.And,I have 2 little requests for this book.Can you make Amanda and Leo become even MORE closer? I would love to read about those events happening!Amanda and Leo are such a cute couple!Maybe,they have a mission that they have to go to the future.Along the way,they find their future selves dating and getting married!And my second request is,when you write this new book,can you make sure everyone stays the same age as in The Last Present,or about the same age?If you make them older,maybe it should be 1/2-1 1/2 years older.I know this MIGHT be too much to ask for,but I would love to read more cute events that happen to Amanda and Leo,like a kiss (while they’re still about the same age)!Anyways,thanks for sharing this very exciting news to all of us!The Willow Falls series is the best!Keep up the good work,and happy writing!
I will tell you that the kids will all get a little older–I have to age Grace from 10 to 12 (those of you who read The Last Present will understand that she needs 2 years before things really happen for her, can’t say too much or it would be a spoiler. ;o). Look at it this way, by the time the book comes out, you’ll be older too! :o)
xo
Wendy
But wait… that would make all the other characters 15 years old! But I want to know what happens when they’re 14! Maybe later you can write short stories on when Amanda, Leo, Rory, Tara, and David are 14. Or maybe even older… that just a suggestion! I also think the fans would agree. If you read all the other comments like I do then reply saying if you agree with short stories on the quintet. And yes I did you quintet. It is the term of 5 people which is used mostly mucically but I don’t care! There is a new willow falls book! Yay!
Bye
Cool! I thought it would just start off from where The Last Present left off! They’re growing so fast *sniff *sniff Haha 🙂
that is fantastic news!!! you really cheered my spirits because I’ve been looking for books to read for ages and since I’ve started secondary school I don’t really have time to look at your website unless i’m researching something, get bored and remember “HEY WENDY MASS MIGHT HAVE SOME COOL NEWS!!” and most of the time there is. I knew the first one would be that one because that’s not the kind of book you leave unfinished! and I had a small feeling you would some way or another kind of continue the willow falls series.
I ACTUALLY have something to look forward about now YAY!!
ps. and i’m doing this bunting where you decorate it with one of your favourite books. im definitely choosing the candymakers because that is one of the most decorative exciting book covers I have EVER seen!!!
I really like the candymakers cover, too. The same guy did that one as Pi in the Sky. Glad you checked the site. xo
:o)
Wendy
Candy?? Ok, you have my FULL attention. (Not that you didn’t have it for the amazing hours I spent reading your books and your blog) I think that either means a Candymakers sequel, which would make not only my day, but my universe. Or you’re putting something about candy in another book. However, I’m REALLY hoping you consider mustard to be candy. I’m not sure why you would-I’m not judging-because THAT would mean A Mango Shaped Space sequel, which blows everything else so far out of the water they vaporize. I know, I know, that’s stretching your words a bit, but hey, you didn’t give us much to go on. As for the Willow falls book (which is great!!) is there any chance you could put in some storyline about Jake and Rory? I loved how we were able to follow them into 13 Gifts, and even a bit in The Last Present, but I know I want to hear more!
Ok! Now that I have asked for everything twice (as you said, we’re not afraid to ask for what we want) I just wanted to say, I hope you’re valentines day was good, you got and gave lots of love, and you ate as many candy hearts as you wanted, as I did.
Thank you for your amazing writing,
-Parker
Parker, you crack me up!!! Still can’t talk candy…but very soon, I promise! Will make sure to get in jake and rory. xo, w.
make sure to get in amanda and leo in there too please!!!!
That’s so exciting!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much!!!!!!!! 😀
I can’t wait to read them!!!!!!! Grace is awesome…
I love your books so much!!!!! I can’t wait!
-Soph13
Another Willow Falls book?!?!?!? OH MY GOD THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY!!!!!! Seriously, these books are my favorites ever!!! I was so sad when I finished The Last Present but now I’M SOOOO HAPPY AND EXCITED ABOUT THIS I CAN’T WAIT TO FIND OUT WHAT YOU HAVE IN STORE FOR GRACE AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀
omg yaaaaayyyyy a new post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SOOOO HAPPY RIGHT NOW!! THE SEQUELS ARE JUST FOR THE BOOKS I WAS HOPING FOR!!!!!!!!!!
I actually screamed. Then did a happy dance. Which was basically flailing around in my chair. You have no idea how happy you just made me. I was so upset at the fact Willow Falls was over! I feel like there were still a lot of loose strings-such as how Jake and Rory manage his fame, and if they ever actually start dating And Tara and David, of course. In all, I absolutely cannot wait for this!
Yay for happy dance! Took out some spoilers above and yes, all those things will be addressed. 🙂
Wow!!! I’m so excited! Thank-you so much. I was hoping for a Willow Falls sequel, and although I wasn’t expecting a Candymakers one I’m ecstatic for both of them. I’m guessing no Every Soul a Star sequel then? Thanks a million times over.
Marita xx
Maybe short stories for Every Soul one day down the road. 🙂
YAY!
I would now like to fill this with as many excited, pixelated smiley faces as possible…except I’m pretty sure that would be counted as spam, and besides, those smiley faces aren’t excited enough.
Okay, now all the sanity is leaving me.
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG WILLOW FALLS I LOVE WILLOW FALLS AND AMANDA AND LEO AND TARA AND DAVID AND JAKE AND RORY AND GRACE AND EVERY SINGLE THING OMG I CAN’T WAIT I TOLD MY FRIENDS THE DAY I SAW THIS AND WOW. OH WOW. THIS IS AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME. IT’S SO AWESOME THAT LOWERCASE LETTERS AND GRAMMAR COULDN’T TAKE IT ANY LONGER. O. M. G! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS
Oh, and like my friend Katy said, I like to daydream about what happens too. 😀 I even started a fanfiction with another friend of mine. 😀
I’ll pretend there are many pixelated smileys!! Glad to make you smile, that made ME smile, thanks! :o) xo Wendy
wow, i NEVER expected candymakers to be the one getting a sequel, but i’m really excited! that was one of my favorite books ever and remains probably my favorite middle-grade book!
i was really hoping there’d be a leap day sequel, though. it lends itself to one so perfectly, it could be set 4 (or even 8?) years after on another leap day!
do you have any plans to write another book aimed towards slightly older readers? i’ll read them no matter what (i’m always looking for an excise to read kids books 😛 )but i love leap day and HLALLTM so much and your YA writing is amazing
It has been fun to surprise my readers with the sequel to Candymakers. A follow up to Leap Year is a good idea!
OMG!
I practically screamed when I heared about this!
A sequal to the candymakers(fantastic book by the way. Plot was j’dored) AND Willow Falls?
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!
🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
Asia
O Ms Wendy,
I am so glad to see a new post, but I was just curious if you have anymore information on the movie so far!?!
I am so pumped for more GREAT reads from you 🙂
Just a question, in the end of “The Candymakers” there is a reader’s guide and question 15 it asks who to the picture of Logan with the butterfly. Do you have a story about that?
I am assuming that it will be left in the movie but I would love to see “The Next Day” in “The Candymakers”
In “The Next Day” Miles says Daisy almost looked just like the girl, did she have brown hair again?
Skylie
Any info I have I promise to post on my website. Movies are a long process but I learn a lot from it!
I’m really glad that you’re writing another book! I thought writing from Grace’s point of view would be a good idea IF you were going to write another, and then, you posted this and that’s exactly what you’re doing! And you mentioned a sequel (with candy as the hint ;)) — My guess is a sequel to the Candymakers! I LOVE that book! I’ve read it like three times at least and I LOVE the style of writing you used. The nosiness in me loved seeing the truth about the characters 🙂 Once you’re allowed to tell us what the sequel is, can you tell me if I’m right? Thanks if you can! I just LOVE your books! I’m so glad you’re writing more. And one thing — I would love it if you could reply to my comment personally (I know I’m funny that way), but I totally understand if you’re too busy. Either way, I just wanted to let you know how much I adore your books 🙂
Your Biggest Fan 🙂
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! OH. MY. GOSH!!!!!:):):):):):):) I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just finished reading you post and I started bouncing around the room and doing a little happy dance! I am soooo excited for the book to come out!

PLEASE make Amanda and Leo even MORE closer in this next book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just love those two characters! And make it more romantic! (I sound so crazy) And please make them an official couple and make them start dating!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So you’re making the book from Grace’s point of veiw right? If you haven’t decided yet, can you consider making it from Amanda’s point of veiw or Leo’s for a change? Please!!!!!!! Please please please make amanda and leo kiss in the next book and make them start dating! they’d be a rally cute couple!!!! Write back Wendy!!!! You are awesome and so are your books! please write back to me and consider adding these things into your next book!!!!! you rock!!!!!!!!!! ~Cristina
Hi Cristina! Thank you for all that!! A & L will still be going strong, but it really does need to be Grace’s story. Hope that’s ok. :o)
This one will be different in that we’ll be seeing someone who is a lot like Angelina in terms of what she can “do” but soooo different at the same time.
Back to work I go! :o)
xo
Wendy
OH MY GURSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂 :): ) 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
When I saw this I LITERALLY SCREAMED AND quite possibly lost it for a minute. I proceeded to call my friend, who of course, is a HUGE fan of yours and I told her the news. She proceeded to act appropriately which was to scream, which made me scream over the news . STILL CANT GET OVER IT!!!!
P.S I just finished rereading the candymakers and now to say that I’m exited would be an understatement, A HUGE ONE
P.P.S love your books, keep writing!!!!!!
P.P.P.S a million smiley faces wouldn’t express how happy i am now
*does happy dance*
LOL at lost it. I picture you passed out on your keyboard–i hope not! ;o)

I have a question for you are you author pals with Rick Riordan (he writes the PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS series) cause if yes then if you guys team up you’ll be unstable in the world of writing and your book would sell faster then lighthning ! I hope you guys would pair up some day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love you both so much I can’t stop thinking about you guys!!!!!!!!(Both of you.)
I just read about Mr Riordan’s new book! I hope you like the new Candymakers!
YAAAYY
I’m so happy and excited! I can’t wait!
Dear Wendy,
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am soooooooooooooooooooooooo excited about the next book in the Willow Falls series!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When I saw ur blog I SCREAMED, DANCED, AND PRACTICALLY EXPLODED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m serious there was Daniella guts all over my walls!
Please Please Please make Rory and Jake an official couple in ur new book! I love they’re characters so much!!!!!!
(They’re a really cute couple!)
Yesterday my English teacher asked my class to write a letter to our favorite author and I chose you! 🙂
I wrote about how u empower and inspire me to write. Thank u for always writing relatable books!!!!!!!!!
Thx,
Daniella
P.S. I love u!!!!!!!!!
Jeremy Fink is realy a good book I love it I was up till 11:30 reading it!
Yay! Make Amanda and Leo a couple please! A lot of people seem to love those two- so do I! I can’t get enough of them! I’m reading THE LAST PRESENT again for the third time and can’t seem to get tired of it! I keep re-reading the romantic parts on Amanda and Leo and want MORE in the next book!! Please! Waiting to hear back from you! I love your books!
crying crying crying crying oh my god can’t believe I haven’t seen this until now! I’m so happy! Can you give us a year and a season or just a year in which these sequels (especially the Willow Falls one!) will come out? Ahh I’m so excited!
We literally started screaming when we found out there was going to be another book! We just realized that if you age everyone two years, David, Tara, Amanda, Leo, and Rory will all be in high school, so that means Rory and Jake can become official :). It’d be great to see Grace get some romance too, lol. Can’t wait to read it!
-Megan and Nicole 🙂
PS: Thanks for writing these books; you really helped make my sister and I closer- we fangirled over fictional couples and first kisses! ~Nicole 🙂
I’m so excited! I told my friends and they’re excited for the next Willow Falls book and the sequel for the Candymakers too, if that’s what it is! You’re one of my favorite authors and I can’t wait for your new books!
Hey Wendy! I am so happy you are making another sequel for the…… CANDYMAKERS! I was so surprised when I looked on your blog today! But one question, are they making the Candymakers a movie? I would be thrilled to see the it! Here in Texas it has been freezing cold and then the next day so super hot! I wonder what the temp will be like today!
Camera
Hello Ms. Mass,
I am very excited to read your new book once it releases! What chapter are you writing so far in the book? I know writing a book takes a while but you have many great ideas! I too, am a HUGE fan of your books. I also love Amanda and Leo. They’re my favorite characters in your book and would absolutely be very happy if you make them a couple, and make more romantic parts between them in the book. Please write back Wendy Mass! I love your books so much and you’re a really awesome author- my most favorite actually! It would mean so much to me if you take this letter into consideration! Please do! And please reply back!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’M SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW I’M USING CAPS TOO MUCH!!!! I am in LOVE with the Willow Falls series and when I read The Last Present, I was happy because of the ending, but then again you left it off at a cliff hanger. I’m reading The Candymakers at the moment and when I read the part about candy in your message I was SO excited!!!!!! I’m on Miles’ part and it’s SO cool! I do love your Twice Upon A Time series, but not even CLOSE to the Willow Falls series!! YAYYYY!!!!!!!! When is the earliest I can pre-order??? Can you give me a hint on what the title will be?? PLEASE!!!!!!!???? I keep telling the kids in my class about you and your books because they see The Candymakers on my desk and they think it looks interesting 😉 Thank you SO much for working on a sequel for the Willow Falls series!! You made a girl REALLY happy
With love,
Maggie <3
I’m so excited! I’ve read The Last Present 6 times to make sure I didn’t miss any details! I really love your books, Mrs.Mass! Can you please talk more about David in the next book? You only really talked about him in Thirteen Gifts, and I was a little disappointed. I really liked how his character was developed, and how in the end it was all about him. I’m so happy, that you’re writing a new book!!!!!!!!!! I’m going to have so, many sleepless nights while I wait for you to finish this new book. Wow, when I read your post I was practically screaming in joy,( in the inside though I’m not that crazy) ! Thank you , thank you thank you! Yay! Oh, and can you use a little more perspective from the boys? Again, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

More Amanda and Leo romantic scenes!!! <3 <3 <3 I LOVE THEM
You are an amazing author! I have read tons of your books, but my favorites are, 11 Birthdays, Finally, 13 Gifts, and The Last Present. I like to call that series of books “The Birthday Series.” I love your writing style. I really enjoy how you took some of the main characters from each book and carried them on to the next book. I loved how you came up with the ideas. The most entertaining character for me that is in all of the books in the series is Angelina. She is my favorite character because she always has something going on that nobody knows about. Angelina is also my favorite character because she goes everywhere, does everything, and knows everybody. I’m am so excited that there is going to be another book. I was so sad that the series was over.
Hi Wendy! I figured out what the other sequel is but don’t worry I won’t give it away! I am freaking out!
Hello,
I too, want more of Amanda and Leo! In THE LAST PRESENT, you kind of left us hanging wondering if they’re a couple or not, or if Amanda has feelings for Leo, too. And most importantly, with Amanda’s conversation with Tara and Rory, the kiss! I want all three of these things to happened in the next book! Please make them a couple/dating, make Amanda have feelings for Leo too, and another kiss! So romantic! LOL, sorry, I just LOVE them. Please answer this post! I really love your books.
It was fun to include a bit of romance. Thank you for reading!
Omg HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can’t believe I’m actually talking to my favourite author ever! You are absolutely FAB and so are your awesome books!!! Can’t wait until the next books comes out! When will it come out? Like, about when? Please make sure to put in more romantic scenes of ALL the couples!!! <3<3<3<3
Hi!
I can’t wait for the book to come out!! And I really HOPE you make Amanda and Leo a couple!!! And make sure to also put in Rory and Jake and Tara and David but since Amanda and Leo will be most experienced let’s say, with this stuff, please please please make them a couple! Before my favorite were Rory and Jake but then when I read the last present, I totally just switched over to A & L!! Please and thanks! Your fan, HOPE!
Hi , Mrs. Mass! I posted another comment before, but now it’s not on your blog. I was wondering if you saw it before. Anyway, thank you so much for writing another Willow Falls book! Me and my sister really love this series! Whenever something out of the ordinary happens me and my sister look at each other and say Willow Falls or Angelina D’angelo! When I read your announcement I was practically yelling in joy ( in the inside though I’m not that weird!) I love the setting of the books a lot. Can you also include more of the boys perspective? I know this book is about Grace, but I feel it would be really nice if we could figure out their opinion on all the crazy stuff that happens to them. Maybe Grace could read their minds? Anyway, please keep writing and thank you again for deciding to write this new book, Mrs. Mass. I will keep reading them! I’m posting this one twice just in case!
Hi Ms. Mass,
You are my most favourite author ever and my older sister introduced me to your books and I have like, fallen in love with the two characters, Amanda and Leo! I would love if you make more romantic scenes between the two of them! I started squealing during the beach scene in The Last Present and would more than LOVE it if you make them a couple in your next book! I can’t wait for it to come out, I am SO excited, I swear I’m going to mark it on my calendar because that’s what I did with The Last Present! Keep writing, you’re amazing! Love: Serenity
Omigosh!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m sooooooooooo excited!!!!!!!!!!! I wrote on another blog post that I wanted you to write one and you said maybe but now it’s a yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You made my day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh my gosh I am so excited!!!!! I love all your books especially the Candymakers and the Willow Falls series! The Last present was awesome. I read the beach scene with Amanda and Leo over and over and over about 50 times! I am 12 years old and I was wondering what is your advice to kids who are trying to write books? I love to write but I always seem to get to a point in the story where I’m not sure what should happen next. I saw in a post before that the Candymakers is going to be made into a movie! Do you have any more news about that? I really hope you write back!
– Emi 🙂
I promise to post any news on movies and new books right here on my website. I hope you enjoy reading the new Candymakers!
OMGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYY
I WAS, SOOOOOOOOOOOO SAD, I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE LAST BOOK, I LOVE THIS SERIES MORE THAN ANYTHING…..
YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY
Can’t wait until it’s out!
Thank you so, so much for making sequels to my favorite books. The Willow falls series and The Candymakers (I think it will be The Candymakers)taught me to love books and I am really, really happy you are making sequels!!! I am literally screaming on the inside! 🙂
I am over the moon excited for this book to come out!!! Please do make sure to mention all the couples in the book! Especially Amanda and Leo!! Love your books like crazy!
I think that you should make another a mango shaped space I love that book I really loved your willow falls series so I’m happy and yea.
This is the best day ever! Literally!!! OMG thanks so much for a sequel to The Last Present!!! That series is my life! I’m an artist and I loved the series so much, I drew the characters how I pictured them! I love Amanda and Leo. Please continue their relationship!!! I’m in love with Leo!!! I read the beach scene so many times lol. Well thanks so much you are the best! Always keep writing. This series makes me happy on any bad day and I can’t stop thinking about it so thanks for writing it!
-Melanie
Hi Mrs. Mass! I love your books, but I haven’t read the Willow Falls series yet, but I love your other books. Please make a sequel for Every Soul A Star!? And… CANDY!!!!!! That book was really good and I can’t wait for that sequel! I also love A Mango – Shaped Space! I never knew there was a disability called synesthesia! It really boosted my brain on imagining stuff! Anyways, this was my first time on this website. I found it on Bing.com. I’ll be reading your books and checking this website when I can! Your BIGGEST FAN, Reagan.
Yeah!!!!! Can I live in Willow Falls?! I <3 Grace! I want to see ore of her!
OH MY GOODNESS, ANOTHER WILLOW FALLS BOOK SEQUEL?
My prayers have been answered…
I cannot wait until your next book, and oh my goodness, I just KNOW it’s going to be good.
You have this wonderful way of writing books where the plot is sort of backwards, we don’t know the whole story until the very very end…
Speaking of sequels, I couldn’t care less how old I am, I love Twice Upon A Time! Are you planning on writing another one for the series?
Thanks and Love,
Alyson
Hey!
So excited to hear that your making another birthday book! I live for your books because they’re so amazing and well written! I can totally feel how the character feels. I really hope you include all the couples in the book but my favorite are Amanda and Leo so please make them more closer to each other than in THE LAST PRESENT. It was so sweet how Leo was so nice to Amanda because he had a crush on her but Amanda didn’t know what to do so please can you make Amanda more closer to Leo too? Anyways, I really can NOT wait until your book comes out! The next day after it releases, I’m going to Indigo to get a copy! I already bought the rest of the series! I want to read Candymakers, too. My friend said it was a great book. Write back Wendy!
Dear Wendy,
Thank you for coming to my school today. Your visit inspired me to become a writer. Once again thank you. even though you might not see this i am thankful of you.
Kaitlyn
Hi Wendy Mass!
So glad to hear you’re making another book in the series come out!!
I have a question for everyone just out of curiosity, if you were to make one person in the birthday series come to life, who would you choose? Which COUPLE would you choose? I don’t really have an answer for the first one, but for the second, it’s AMANDA AND LEO. I really hope they become a couple in this next book!
So if you guys happen to stumble onto this post , please give your opinion!
1. Rory
2. Leo and Amanda
!!
OMG!!!!!!!!!!! YES! Yay yay yay YAY! I am going to tell my friend Avery about the new Willow Falls Book! We both read the series and love it! I haven’t read The Candy Makers yet.
Hi Wendy!
It’s actually so weird that I just stumbled upon this post because I actually just had an idea that might have to do with the Willow Falls series…
I was thinking about writing a fan-made sequel!!! I just finished reading The Last Present for the second time, and I have read each of the other books in the series at least twice. I was wondering if after I wrote it you’d like to read it and give me feedback on my writing skills, (I want to be an author when I’m older), but since you’re already writing a sequel in not sure if you’d be interested. I already have some good ideas for the next book, and I know that you’re really busy, so just respond when you get the chance please!
– Julia
Thank you for thinking of ideas! Have an awesomesauce school year!
If it were just ine character, I would choose Tara because she seems like a really nice person. If I were to choose two people so a couole, it would TOTALLY be a and l becvause theyre suprr cute together!
A) amanda
b)rory and jake
Hi Wendy!
THIS IS AMAZING NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You have to bring up Leo and Amanda and Tara+ David, etc. relationships!!
AND ANGELINAS SECRETS!!!!
-T
This ones to Elena:
1) Amanda
And 2) Amanda AND Leo
I can’t get enough of those two!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tara
amanda and leo totally
Hi Wendy my name is Keke and I was maybe you could write a 2nd book to the candymakers I fell in love with 1st one my mom keep saying put it down. Maybe there is something again like the contest keep up the good work:)
Hmmmm…. the first one’s kinda tough since I like all the characters equally but for the couple, it’s Rory and Jake!
Hi! You Skyped us at our school, Barretts Elementary in St. Louis, and I had questions I didn’t get to ask. Have you ever gotten a award and how many? You are so nice for taking your time to Skype us. Thanks again.
Hi KJ–a very fun skype, thanks for having me!! My books have won some state book awards and A Mango-Shaped Space won the Schneider Family Book Award. I hope that helps! Say hi to your classmates for me. 🙂
This is a neat questionnaire! My answer would be Tara for the first one because she seems like a cool friend and then the couple would be her and David!
The next message is for Wendy Mass.
Hi Wendy!
You are an amazing author and I love your books and have read each like, 4 times! I really can’t wait for the fifth birthday book to release! I was in suspense when Amanda and Leo figured out that Angelina and Grace share birthdays! I wonder what Angelina had meant by: I will be going away for a while. Please make sure to include EVERYONE from THE LAST PRESENT. Make sure to include Rory and Jake, Tara and David the couples, and please make Amanda and Leo a couple, too so the 6 of them will all be paired up with someone! Keep writing! Your books are very inspirational and addictive in a way!!
I am totally tearing up in joy!!! My brothers are starting to think I’m going crazy. I’ve read all of your books and can’t wait for more. Words can’t describe how happy I as m right now!!!THANK YOU WENDY MASS!!!!!!!
YAY!
I was wondering what happened with Grace after that last book! I loved it SOO much! YAY!
13 Gifts is somethin to die for!
xo
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!! OMG!!! i am SO excited for the sequels!!! When I finished “The Last Present” I was in such a bad mood because of that last chapter! It was SUCH a cliff-hanger, and I was bummed that it was the last book. But now it’s not and I am SO excited!! Also, I’ve been wondering if you could write MULTIPLE books in Grace’s point of view. anyway, thanks so much!
~Lydia, your biggest fan~
Hi Lydia! You make me laugh–it’s hard enough to write one book let alone multiple–that might have me screaming out into the night! ;o)
xo
w
1. Rory
2. Leo and Amanda are my favorite couple, well, even though they’re not really a couple…YET. Wendy Mass, please consider making those two a couple in the next book! I love how they’ve known each other for all their life and are Best Friends!
Hi Wendy! 😀
I remember that I went to the library with m y mom and seeing the book! OMG i was so excited I grabbed the book before anyone could see xD and it was SUPER good and i finished it quickly 😀
Hope you continue writing cuz you have me hooked on Willow Falls series 😛
Thank you and I was hooked on the stories too! I loved writing those books. I hope you like the new Candymakers also. Happy Reading!
I love you Wendy!!!! If I had to choose one word to describe you as a writer, I would describe you as a magician. Your books are AMAZING from the start, and just when you think the book can’t get any better-POOF!!! Another great twist pulled out of the hat. You’ve inspired me SO much, I want to be a writer! If I ever DO become an author, I don’t think my editor would have to do too much work. At least, not with grammar! Grammar and punctuation are things I do great at, and it annoys me when I see mistakes in my classmates’ writing. Anyway, You are my remodel. Thanks to you, my teachers think I am ‘mature beyond my years’ . I love your writing style, and how you write about characters that don’t have perfect lives, so that we can relate to them. When I read your books, (especially the Willow Falls series) I get sucked into their world, where there are no coincidences. I feel the feelings of the characters, and I can see what they see. It’s like I am living the lives of the characters, but I am still living my own, if that makes any sense at all. I can’t wait to see what you accomplish in the two upcoming books!
~Your biggest fan (and yes, I MEAN it) Lydia
Hi hi hi hi!!!
HI Wendy!
I’m turning 13 years old in April and I have read all of you rbooks like, 3 times already! You’re such an amazing author and now I got my 9 year old sister hooked to your books! make sure to include ALL the couples. Well, the couples as in Rory and jake, tara and david. I know leo has a crush on Amanda which is so cute but they’re not really official yet so in the 5th book, can you please make them be? they would be really cute together! then all 6 of them would have someone. lol! anyways, so I really can’t wait and I also had a question. is the fifth book going to be from Grace’s point of view or Amanda’s? Write back! You’re my most favorite author and you’re books are to die for! good luck and write back please!
I hope you enjoyed Graceful! Thank you for writing!
I love you Wendy! You are my remodel! can’t wait for the new books!
PLEASE make Amanda and Leo and official couple! I was shocked at the scene on the beach in “The Last Present”, but in a good way, PLEASE!!
Omg I am now soooooooo excited. I just finished reading The Last Present and was sad because I was thinking the Willow Falls series is over but i guess it’s not!!!!! Thank you so much for making my day and you are my favorite author. Keep writing!!!!!!
OMG! This is the greatest news ever. I love the Willow Falls series and am so excited for another book. I was just wondering if you are planning on writing anymore in the Twice Upon a Time series. If so that would be awesome. You should do a story based on Cinderella.
Lots of love,
Hannah<3
I hope so, HAnnah! It would be far down the road, but i’d really like to! Thanks for asking!!!!

Wendy
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG I wish i could make 50 000 smiley faces for u because words cannot explain how happy you’ve made me by giving this news. I love Willow Falls. I’ve read each book 25 times each. I could never understand how someone could write such perf books. They r so adorbs with amy and leon as little kids and how they become older (cough cough i meant amanda and leo but u know no one in the future can know who they are[wink wink]).I love you and you’ve just made my day-i mean night.thank you wendy.

LOL 🙂 BUt really THANK U SO MUCH LIKE OMG PLS MAKE IT FULL OF RORY AND JACK AND LEO AND AMNDA AND TARA AND DAVID MOMENTS BUT DONT FORGET GRACE:)
OMG!!! No way!! I love your books and was sad after I read The Last Present only because I thought it was the last Willow Falls book, I am so excited and can not wait.
I just finished reading Jeremy Fink and the Meaning of Life and this is the first time since I retired from teaching 5 years ago that I wish I were still teaching! I want to read your book aloud to students! What an incredible book for children to experience! Your book was chosen to be discussed next week by my ladies’ Booklover’s discussion group – otherwise, I might never have read it. I’m thankful for being a member of that group –it’s a strong string in my life. I’ll share your book with my grandchildren and I’ll read your other books. All my 25 years as a teacher of 4th and 6th graders, I said that children’s books are better written than books for adults and Jeremy Fink proves that. Thank you for writing!
Susan Ray

roxy! 😉
I love the Willow Falls Series!
I’ve noticed I’m one of many huge fans!
Leo and Amanda are my favourite characters which is probably why I loved 11 Birthdays and The Last Present, they were my favourites in the series but I truly love them all. I was hoping for good news when I researched to find out whether there would be more books to come. I was not disappointed! I am so excited for the next book! Your books are very well written, creative and I love all the humor! You’re one of the most inspiring authors. I really hope I can become a talented writer like you someday. Thank you for Willow Falls and The Candymakers, of course. When I saw the hint I knew right away and was super glad to know of two more most likely wonderful books for me to read. The only things that bother me about the Willow Falls Series are the facts that it won’t be endless and that I don’t live in Willow Falls. 🙂
Thanks so much for coming to our school today! I enjoyed your talk so much and connected personally to it. I can wait for the sequels to two of my favorite series!!!!!! My friends and I LOVED your idea for the second Candymakers. I will definitely wait the two years. Thanks again!!
Dear Wendy Mass,
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! I have all of the books in the Willow Falls series and I finished reading them and I was so sad when The Last Present was the last book. I said “what?! This can’t be the end!” And now it isn’t…thanks to you!!! I also lend my friend, Abby, the Willow Falls books and she finished reDing them too. We both wanted you to make more. I even started writing my own continuation called Angelina’s Key. I hope you can consider that as one of your titles for the new books! Now me and Abby want to make a movie to 11 Birthdays and we want to put the special thanks to you, if you don’t mind! But it’s not going to be public, probably, so don’t worry!!! I love your books sooooooo much and I even have all 3 of the Twice Upon A Time books! I hope you can continue writing more books and if you can – please reply to this message! You’re one of my most FAVORITE AUTHORS IN THE WHOLE WORLD!!!!!!!!! Bye!!! – Alice
YAHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *Jumps for joy* Wendy you are the best author in the world! I was hoping for a sequel to a mango shaped space though… Oh well! I love the Willow Falls series! Yay!

Thanks for being awesome!
~Erica
I loved the book ” the last present”!!!!!!!!!! 🙂
Ok. So I finished all the Twice Upon A Time series until you might make the next book! And now I am reading The Candymakers! I love you books! And I am so glad that you are making new ones. I love love LOVE Every Soul A Star! I really want to see an eclipse now.
AAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!! I am so excited now! I actually squealed! (not something I do often) I actually just reread the last present, and was thinking about different things that could happen now that grace has powers. and a candymaker’s too! Yay!
Hi Wendy! im such a big fan of your books. I have read every soul a star, the candy makers, the willow falls series, pi in the sky, and jeremy fink and the meaning of life, which i also saw the movie of. I think my favoritre was every soul a star, it was just such a good book! I wanted to ask how the candymakers movie is going, or if it is still going to happen, because i would love to see it! i remember some people on your blog entry talking about auditions for it, and i dont know what stage the movie is in, but if there are auditions, i would love to be a part of them. I am 12 years old, im homeschooled, and i live in boston. i love to act, so i really would love to be a part of the auditions. Anyway i am just such a big fan, and i am really curious about the movie because i havent heard much about it since it was announced. please reply to this comment, it would mean so much. ~ Clara
SO SORRY to just be seeing all this, still no Candymaking movie but I haven’t given up!! If you’re still interested all these years later I promise I’ll update here with any news. Hugs to you!! Wendy
OMG!!! Thank you SO much, Wendy! I got The Last Present for Christmas and finished it, like, a week after. I cried after I finished the book because I didn’t want it to end!! I am SO excited that you decided to do another book in the series!!! I never want the series to end!! In the new book, I would love to learn more about David’s dad! I’m really happy that he recovered!!! Your post made my day!! And if your hint about a sequel involving ‘candy’ means a sequel for the Candymakers, then I would be elated!!! Besides the Willow Falls series, the Candymakers is my FAVORITE book of yours!!! All of your books always have a message and I love that about them!! Your writing inspires me to become a better writer!! When I grow up I either want to be a publisher or writer.
Author when I grow up and it’s all because of you!! So thank you!! Keep the great books coming!!
Your #1 fan,
Christina
Hi,
I am so, so, so excited for the sequel for the Willow Falls books because those are my absolute favorite books. Also, I was wondering if you would ever consider making a sequel to Every Soul a Star. I think that would be an amazing book to build off of!
Lots of Love,
Katei
So i finished the last present and I LOVED IT! Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!!!!!!!!! I absolutly adore Leo and Amanda, the way you ended it was clever and AWESOME and i truly hope you continue with the willow falls series! I am a huge fan of your writing and have just finished reading the Twice upon a time series (for like the tenth time). I can’t tell you how much i love love love your books! I Adore a mango shaped space and everything in it! the willow falls series… ahhhh i can’t even i just love it all sooo much!!!! This is a huge request but can you think about making another twice upon a time book? Those are my absolute favorite! Maybe do Cinderella or Snow White? or even put a twist on the little mermaid??? OOOooo yes the little mermaid! it could be called Twice Upon A Time: The Little Mermaid, The one who dreamed of another world…… I don’t know or something like that! I mean i guess i could make one myself but you are just so good at it and you always surprise me which i love!
I hope you think about it,
-Mariah
Thanks for all that, Mariah! I do hope to do another Twice upon a Time book one day, and will write down those suggestions! I like the little mermaid idea, but in the real Grimm Bros version it doesn’t end well for her, and i like to keep as close as possible to the originals–the backbone of the stories, at least. Still, i’ll keep it in mind. :O)
xo

Thank you and I agree about sticking to the original stories! I cannot wait until the next candy makers!
words cannot express how happy i am right now
Hello!
I cannot believe that you’re writing another book! This series is really good, I finished it within a day and they kept me awake thinking about what would happen next to Amanda and Leo, Rory, Tara, and Grace! I literally screamed “FINALLY!!!!!” when Amanda and Leo kissed, it was at the exact time that I expected it to happen. Like Stephanie said, HOLY SMOKES! I really hope that a movie will come out, I would love to see the action happening on screen even though I can picture the characters in my head really clearly. That’s how good your writing is.
-Chloe
YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Thank you soooo much!!!!! You have to keep on writing more! Don’t stop after this one either!
Thankssssss!!!!!!!!!!! =)
(SOOOOO happy right now!)
Hi Wendy,
I just wanted to say that you are an amazing writer. I love how all your books in the Willow Falls series are connected somehow! =)
Please continue writing more books in the Willow Falls series! I loooooove them!!!! Can’t stop reading them!
After you finish this book (which I’m sure will also be really good!), can you write some books in the Willow Falls series in a boy’s point of view? Maybe like Leo’s?
It would be great if you write back.
Thanks!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m sorry, did I freak you out? Oh, that was just me, SCREAMING with joy!
Omigod, thank you! Other than that, I’m SPEECHLESS.
Oh, and BTW, I can relate to Rory + Amanda most. 😀
Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOOOOOOOVE your idea for the title!!! Graceful sounds exactly like the title of a book about Grace!! You are my hero right now!!
I’ve read this post a while back and I forced myself to wait to comment until I’ve finally read The Last Present. (Darn those slow delivery trucks!) first of all, I would like to thank you a million times for The Last Present. Everything about the book was beautiful, and I cried during David’s dad thing (trying not to put spoilers lol!) and I literally laughed out loud during pretty much the whole book, it was amazing. A few questions, is Ray going to be in the sequel? And of course being a typical teen, I’m dying to see more scenes with all the couples (I can’t even choose a favorite, they’re all so cute) and I can’t wait to see how Grace grows up now.
You are so talented, Miss Mass (that makes you seem old, because I may or may not picture you as my best friend instead lol!) Counting down the days until this book comes out!
P.S. I’ve read almost all your other books as well as the Willow Falls series and I hope you never stop writing!
OMG!!! Thank you SO much, Wendy! I got The Last Present for Christmas and finished it, like, a week after. I cried after I finished the book because I didn’t want it to end!! I am SO excited that you decided to do another book in the series!!! I never want the series to end!! In the new book, I would love to learn more about David’s dad! Your post made my day!! And if your hint about a sequel involving ‘candy’ means a sequel for the Candymakers, then I would be elated!!! Besides the Willow Falls series, the Candymakers is my FAVORITE book of yours!!! All of your books always have a message and I love that about them!! Your writing inspires me to become a better writer!! When I grow up I either want to be a publisher or author when I grow up and it’s all because of you!! So thank you!! Keep the great books coming!!

You are so sweet, Christina! You can be both a publisher AND a writer, if you like! I’m excited to start the Candymakers sequel soon. :o)
xo

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!! I SIMPLY CANNOT CONTAIN MY EXCITEMENT!!!!!!!! :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):) :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):) AHHHHHHHHHH! ( Sorry I’m shouting. It’s an excited shout, not a rude one. ;). I’m so glad this is happening. ) Oh, and can you have stuff about Amanda and Leo? I can’ t wait to see what happened to them.
I just LOVE this series! I read all 4 books and cant wait to read the next one. You wont
believe how happy i am! I hoped there would be another book and when i read your blog i
was so happy! Can Amanda and Leo, Tara and David, and Rory and Jake be couples? It
wouldve been 2 years so Rory and Jake can date now. I hope so! Cant wait to read the book!
Hey Wendy! I just finished the last to books in the Willow Falls Series and I can’t wait for another book! My friend was begging me to read your books sometime, and then I told her you’re coming out with another one! My friend is totally pumped up!
Can’t wait to see it!

You are an amazing author! I have read tons of your books, but my favorites are, 11 Birthdays, Finally, 13 Gifts, and The Last Present. I like to call that series of books “The Birthday Series.” I love your writing style. I really enjoy how you took some of the main characters from each book and carried them on to the next book. I loved how you came up with the ideas. The most entertaining character for me that is in all of the books in the series is Angelina. She is my favorite character because she always has something going on that nobody knows about. Angelina is also my favorite character because she goes everywhere, does everything, and knows everybody. I’m am so excited that there is going to be another book. I was so sad that the series was over.
I totally thought that the last present was going to be the last book! I was really sad about the series ending, but now I’m really excited!
Squeal!! A new Willow Falls book! I am soooooo EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂 I LOVE Willow Falls! I can’t wait to find out what happens next!!! But until then, I guess I’ll just make up what’s happening.
Hi!!! My name is Hiromi and I am a huge fan of all your books, especially the willow falls series. In your next willow falls book, will there be more about Rory(she is probably my favorite character)? In my opinion, there should be a movie for these books. Can you tell me anything more about the new book? I am super excited because I have read each book at least 3 times. Also, are you thinking of making a sequel to a mango shaped space? I really liked that book and I want to know more about Mia’s new cat. Please respond when you can. Thanks!!!:)
Thank you! This month the sequel to The Cansymakers came out. I hope you enjoy reading it too!
Yay! I love the Willow Falls series! I have read 11 Birthdays and 12 Finally. I just finished the book Sleeping Beauty so I will read 13 Gifts or The Last Present now. Maybe 13 gifts to go in order! Did anyone like the book Sleeping Beauty? Once I started reading it I couldn’t put it down! When important things happen in Rose’s chapter like the time she fell of her horse and saw black we weren’t sure if she would fall asleep for 100 years or if it was just a nasty fall. Next, it would go the Prince’s chapter and we had to wait a whole chapter to find out what happens to Rose! I can’t wait to crack open another book in the Willow Falls series!
I know the chances of you responding to this are slim, but I’ve got to try!! I LOVE the willow falls series- when I read this, I screamed! The last present has been my obsession for weeks- I will read it, finish it, then reread it! I am sooooooooooo excited for Graceful!! I have one request- PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASEEEEE include some romance between Leo and Amanda. You have no idea how much that would mean to me!!! With the last present, I literally bookmarked EVERY page that something sweet or romantic happend between them. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do stuff with them!!! And David and Tara as well. This would make me SOOOOOOOOO HAPPY!!!!!!!!!! Thanks you so much for reading this. I’ve got to admit, I was so obsessed with the willow falls series that I started writing my own fanfic about it. Please let me know if you can do this!!!! <3 Rebecca
Hi Wendy!! THANK YOU SO MUCH for making GRACEFUL!! I’m so happy you have no idea how happy I am! When I found out I screamed and jumped everywhere!! I love the Willow Falls series so much!! They are favorite books (I read them like 3 times already!). Can you please put SpongeBob in there? Ohh and can you put Stephanie there? Me and my friend Isabella love Amanda and Stephanie as friends!! Me and Isabella were so happy when you told us there was going to be another book!! We’re so exiced for the next book! We might be the first ones to even buy it!! Can you PLEASE not make GRACEFUL the last book? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE You are my favorite author and as long as you keep making the Willow Falls series you will be! Ohh and one more thing is Angelina going to be there?
You’re awesome and love that energy!! I know this post is beyond old by now but if you see it, I hope you enjoyed Graceful and that it gave you everything you hoped it would!! I honestly don’t remember if Stephanie was in there, but hopefully all the other things you wanted showed up. I hope you’ve been well and I’m sending a big hug your way! xo, Wendy
Ahhhhhhhhh! (That was me screaming with joy) I always have loved the Willow Falls series! I have read the whole series at least 2518929202 times. It’s my favorite series of all time and that makes you my favorite author of all time. This series is so relatable because as I’ve read these books I’ve been around the same age as the main characters and I totally understand what they are going through, but then I’m like, “How can I relate to this when I don’t live in a small town, don’t know a little, old, magical woman, and I can get away with going back in time without my parents noticing?” Anyway you writing another book is the best news I’ve had all day!!!!!!! I finished reading the series again today and I wished I could keep going, so I looked to see if there was going to be another book and there is!!! I’m also excited for another candy makers book because I read that book in 4th or 5th grade and loved it! Ok so I just wanted to let you know that you made my day and probably my year!
Hey Wendy! I adore you like crazy and make all my friend read your books!
But anyway I think we should’ve video taped all of us while reading this post, I screamed,cried, laughed, repeat. I think it all would’ve been very amusing and motivating. I would watched other fan’s reactions for the fun of it if they were anything like mine!
OMG this makes me sooo happy! You are my all-time favorite author, and the Last Present is my all time favorite book. I did a school report on you. because u r just that cool. You inspire me to write. please keep writing and share your amazing work wit the world.
P.S.
I have been working on a book since I was in 6th grade and your books are so amazing! I am going to try to make my plot mysterious with answers revealing themselves in the end like yours!
Hannah 🙂
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am SO glad you are making another book. I absolutely CANNOT wait for it.
By the way I think you should rewrite 11 birthdays from Leo’s point of view.
One more thing it would be the best thing in the universe if you somehow got 11 birthdays to be a movie.
Thanks for reading this.
You are the best.
P.s. because of your books I wrote my own.
Since Rory is in 9th grade can her and Jake be a couple♥️♥️♥️
More on Amanda and Leo too ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I am just giving you some ideas, after all, you are the author.
So I was thinking it should be about David because he kinda gets let in in the end. And probably the next one about Jake. It can have a little romance along with magic.
I also had some other things to tell u. seriously things
I am dying. I am like seriously screaming and squeling and getting seriously out of control. I am seriously that exited. I just hope it has more about the couples and stuff. I serious read each book like a million times. Please, please, please make it the best one yet and I hope you reply. (still jumping for joy) SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
LOL, you’re gonna have to stick around to let me know what you think of the book! Yes, there will be stuff about the couples, I promise! xo, w.
I’m so happy that you are making more i was really sad when it ended I thought I was going to die!!!!! You just made my day and all the days until the series really does end (hopefully not anytime soon!!!)
I saw this on Pinterest today and I got so super excited I finished The Last present at 12:30 last night and I soooooooooo wanted there to be more and then I came on here to verify and then I saw it’s true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL, hope you slept in this morning after such a late night! ;o)
xo,
w
first of all i just wanted to say that i love, love, love, your books. the first book of yours i read was 13 gifts. it was for an english project . i should say that i was not very interested in reading novels at the time (though i must say i have always loved english class). but after i read your book and found out there was more i looked every where for them. the first one was very easy to find -it was at the library. but i couldnt find ‘finally’ no matter where i looked. but after a few months i found it. an american girl had transfered to the acadamy and it turned out she was an even bigger fan of your books she had a lot of them and she let me borrow a few. for some reason ive still not really understood she kept a few books in her cuboard and would not let anybody touch them. anyway i just read the last present and i was wondering if i could request a favar. i really love fairy tales especially ones i can connect and i really loved our version of beauty and the beast and was wondering if you would consider doing a snow white version , thank you very much for the work youve done so far.
Hi! I think I can understand keeping books tucked away in a cupboard–you know the old saying, never loan out a book if you want to see it again! ;o). I’m glad you found what you were looking for though–i love going on a quest for books. I do hope to do another fairy tale book soon, but until then you can look for the versions of Rapunzel and Sleeping Beauty.
:o)
xo
Wendy
Omg i am so happy right now! thank you so much!

rory and jake pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
xoxo
katherine
Rory and Jake are there, I promise! :o)

Wendy
I’m so glad you are writing another book!! The Willow Falls series is my favorite series!! I want to be a writer when I grow up, so you are my role model!!!!!! Thank you for writing this series these books changed my life they are so good!! I became a different writer after reading them!! I have read the series so many times at least 50 times! They are so good!! You are an AMAZING WRITER!!! Thanks for inspiring me!! I’ve read all of your books and soon I can FINALLY enjoy another one!! I’m thinking about making a list of things I want to do when I’m 12…. Let’s just say my parents are kind of like Rory’s…
LOL on having parents like Rory’s! Good luck with your list!! I’m sure you know these books better than I do at this point!! I think you’ll be happy with GRACEFUL, b/c it really gives each character a way to wrap up their story lines. I know it’s a while away, but you’ll have to let me know what you think.
xo
Wendy
OMG!!!!! I thought this would never happen!!!!!! I love the Willow Falls series so much. I can’t believe I’m only reading this now. I recommend this series to my friends all the time!!!!! I’ve been so busy obsessing over it, I didn’t even know about this!!!!! I bought all the books and finished ‘The Last Present’ last year. When I finished it I didn’t know what to do with my life, but now that I hear about this!!!!!! I can’t wait! 🙂
OH MY GID THANK YOU SO SOS SOOOOOOOO MUCH IM SO HAPPY!!!!!!!!!! I cried at the omens of a last present!!! And now my throat hurts from screaming! Not even joking!! PLEASE MAKE ANOTHER SERIES F YOU COULD 😀
I love Pine Bros cough drops if your throat is still sore! ;o) )you are sooo sweet for screaming!!) Hopefully you’ll enjoy Graceful!! xoxo Wendy
Oh! Can you please make some stuff about Amanda and Leo! Maybe a kiss! Same for Rory and Jake and Tara and David! LIKE EVERY COUPLE EVERR IM SHIPPING HARD! And thanks for the announcement I’m gonna go read now!!!!
HI!! I just finished the last present right now!! And now I’m dying to read Graceful but u would still like to read more about Leo and Amanda. YOU HAVE TO WRITE MORE ABOUT THEM!!!
P.s HUGE FAN!!!! CAN’T WAIT FOR GRACEFUL TO COME OUT!! IM GETTING IT THE DAY IT COMES OUT IF THATS POSSIBLE
Lots of love,(HUGE FAN)
TAYLOR :))))
OMG WENDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You have no idea how much I LOVE YOUR BOOKS!!! I have stayed up till 3 a.m. reading your books,NO JOKE! When I read this I started screaming so loudly my mom and dad woke up. When I started reading your Willow Falls series I never expected to obsess over it and not to sound dramatic but your books are way better than Suzanne Collins. I think you probably know how much a lot of people obsess over the Hunger Games but your books wayyyyyyy better.
I LOVE the willow falls series!!!!! I read 11 birthdays at the library and i couldn’t put it down! Then i went to barnes&noble and bought 12 finally and read it. Then i had to buy 13 gifts bc it was such a good book. Then i was going CRAZY bc i didn’t have the last present. So my mom bought the last present early for christmas bc i begged her to death! I was up till like 2 in the morning reading the last present with a pen that has a little light on it. I had to push the light the whole time i was reading! My thumb hurt the next day but it was totally worth it!!! I am so glad that u will be making more of the willow fall series!!!
P.s. I own: every soal a star, the candy makers, all of the sillow falls series, jeremy fink, a mango shaped space and i LOVE them!! Keep up the good work!
Dear Wendy,
I literally started crying with joy when I read this. I love every single one of your books. THEY ARE THE BEST BOOKS EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You have just made me the happiest person alive.:):):):):):):):):):):):)
I had to restrain myself from screaming with joy so I don’t wake any siblings. I bet you can guess my favorite character. AMANDA. She is so sweet :):):):) by the way I told my best friend, Elizabeth, about your books and she is like crazy in love with them. You don’t have to but do you think you could include her first name in it?
I’m sure that would make her feel :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)
Your #1 fan,
Amanda.
U shouldn’t make too much love like dating for leo and Amanda. Bc when they do something special like at the beach in the last present it wont be sweet if the are dating. Just my opinion.
Wendy I want to have more willow falls I loved the ending of last present
I literally just finished The Last Present! (and when I mean literally, I mean just a few minutes ago!) And all I wanted was more! it was such a cliffhanger at the end, I just wanted to know what happened with everyone! especially Leo and Amanda 🙂 plus Grace’s powers! my jaw dropped so many times while I read this book, I just loved it! I didn’t even know this book exsisted till a few days ago! this whole entire series is fabulous! and I can’t wait for more! I love this entire series! thank you for creating such wonderful books, that make me smile!
ps. Jeremy Fink and The Meaning of Life is always going to be one of my favourite books! I was very disappointed with the movie, but I’d love to see this (birthday) series possibly become a movie(s) too!
pps. I just got the book Beauty and the Beast! I can’t wait to read that during Christmas break!
ppps. did I mention all of your books are amazing? 🙂
AHHHHHHHH!!!!!! OMG I was so happy when I saw there was going to be another Willow falls series! I screamed and danced and cried! I stayed up late last night finishing The Last Present!

Thank you for all your great books I’m just not quiet sure I’m ready for them to end yet. thank you sooooooooo much!!!!!!!!!!!
Your #1 fan,
Nicolle
Dear Wendy,
Please write another book after Graceful! You can’ t stop now. I’m engrossed! Another book from the point of view of Amanda or Leo would be really good. Please think about it!
It was fun writing from the points of view of Leo and David and Connor in Graceful, since i hadn’t done that before in the other books. I think this really is the end though! At least until they start knocking on my door with new stories to tell me. ;o)
xo
W
No seriously!! Graceful was wonderful and I know you wanted to tie up the loose ends but I need more with Amanda and Leo! It felt too rushed pleaseeee tell me there may be more stories to come.
Hey,
I love your book The candymakers and the great chocolate chase and please keep on writing I really want to read more of your books! you are Amazing XOXOXO
thanks please write back
Well thank you very much and I promise I will keep writing! xo
Happy Valentines Day ( From the future) Willow Falls series… I love EVERYTHING about the series, I read one on my birthday and finished it on the same day (Whether you believe me or not) Keep up the great work
Crazy Fan
I don’t think you are crazy! I appreciate how much you enjoy my books. Thank you 🙂
