Who got the Highest Bid at Writing for Charity?

A few weeks ago Secret Speakers was up for auction at Writing for Charity through CLAU, the Children’s Literature Association of Utah. I had a wonderful time sitting in the audience watching Shannon Hale and Brandon Mull’s hilarious banter on stage, and then a skit from a company I wish I could remember the name of. The highlight of the day for me was meeting Rick Walton for the first time. What a gem of a human being. I’m really looking forward to helping out in whatever way is best to help place books in schools that rate on the lowest socio-economic scale here in my fair state of Utah. I felt really sad when I heard someone say that there are many children who don’t even own one book. That has got to change, does it not? I mean, criminently, do we live in a civilized society or not my friends?
I had to leave early, so I’m curious about who got the soft, furry blue blanket and book? If you’re the lucky person who got that furry, soft blue blanket then know I’m dreaming about getting one myself! It matches the blue butterfly on the cover of Secret Speakers so well, too! You can see the book peeking out of the blue basket a bit if you look closely.
