Dear Alva,

I am Nevena, and I’m thirteen years old. I liked your story in Klaus and I would like to tell you why. Because you never give up, and I like how you taught the children of Smeerensburg to write and read so they could send letters to Santa and get their toy.

What will you do next Chrismas? Will you teach more kids?

I hope to hear back from you.

Best wishes,

Nevena
