Weldon Hyde was coming to town to sign copies of his latest book at the Book Nook store. Carly was excited. In her view, Mr. Hyde wrote the best kids' books ever. She had often imagined conversations with the author, but she knew that hundreds of kids would be at the signing. There would be no time for talk. Still, she had an important message for Mr. Hyde. How could she deliver it? On the day of the event, Carly's dad drove her to the bookstore. The line was already long. Carly saw the author seated at a table, signing books. She waited and waited, clutching her copy of the book. At last, it was her turn. "I'm Carly," she said, handing her opened book to the author. A note on the page said Please create more girl heroes. The author signed his name, smiled at Carly, and said, "Okay. My next book will have a girl hero--named Carly!"
