"I thoroughly enjoyed having author Kimberly Dana read at East Side Story bookstore to read her original works in front of a group of home-schooled students. She was such a natural at showing the story's pictures to the children while at the same time making it very easy and fun for the kids to follow along with her heartfelt messages found in 'Pretty Dolls' about bullies and lessons about growing up in general. I am honored to promote and sell Dana's work, and am already planning our next reading at the bookstore!" Chuck Beard, Owner of East Side Story Bookstore

"Kimberly conducted a Skype chat with my 5th grade students based on Lucy and CeCee's How To Survive (And Thrive) In Middle School. She inspired the students to continue their love of reading and writing. She was able to relate to the kids and give insightful responses to questions as well as provide advice for their upcoming middle school adventures. It was a great experience and a memorable day for everyone involved." - Katie Zambito, Schwarzkopf Elementary School

Definition of Middle School

"Middle school is kind of like Middle-earth. It’s a magical journey filled with elves, dwarves, hobbits, queens, kings, and a few corrupt wizards. Word to the wise: pick your traveling companions well. Ones with the courage and moral fiber to persevere. Ones who wield their lip gloss like magic wands when confronted with danger. This way, when you pass through the congested hallways rife with pernicious diversion, you achieve your desired destination—or at least your next class."
-CeCee, Lucy and CeCee's How to Survive (and Thrive) in Middle School
