Last night I was at RJ Julia's to see Chris Grabenstein. He was really funny and engaging - there was lots of laughter from the audience. It was great to see so many kids attending the author event - two introduced him.

We found out a few details:
* A third book is in the works
* The options have been sold
* He has four brothers
* He used his imaginative play with his brothers in The Island of Dr. Libris
* He enjoyed improv (just like Jamie in I Funny)
* He worked in adverting writing commercials (with James Patterson)
* He wanted to make research and learning fun - more like a game
* He's a reluctant reader himself
* The idea for the sequel came from a 5th grade during an author skype session
