Last
Saturday, my mom and I went to Anderson’s Bookshop in Naperville for a book
signing by my favorite author Dav Pilkey. It was a really long drive but it was
worth it. Pilkey recently released the long awaited ninth Captain Underpants
book, “Captain Underpants and the Terrifying Return of Tippy Tinkletrousers”
I was very excited
to see him but not so excited because of the long line. We had number 71 and I
guess we were kind of lucky because we met some other people who had number
197! We waited in the bookstore for an hour. It was so crowded and loud. My mom
found me a corner to sit in, so I read the new Pilkey book in between two
bookshelves.
Finally, they said
numbers 70 through 75 could line up. Whew! We waited for some more time, and
then it was my turn! I told Dav Pilkey that my name was Andy and I am in 5th
grade. I told him I was a huge fan and that I felt all us readers should “fight
for truth, justice, and all that is preshrunk and cottony!” He said I really knew my books. Then he told
me he liked my shirt. (I was wearing the one that says “my daily routine: get
up, BE AMAZING, go back to bed.”) He signed my book and my mom took a picture
of us.
I can’t wait to
grow up and be an author like Dav Pilkey! I will do book signings like he does,
because he gets to sneak in the back door of the bookstore and doesn’t have to
wait in line.
