    Dear Mr. Robert Agnello,

    Thank you Mr. Agnello for coy ming to Dyker Heights and telling us about your career. It was very good. I like how you wrote your book. in the future, I would like to write a book also. You inspired me. I would like to know how did you feel when you got your Emmy award? I was surprised when you said that you went to Dyker 45 years ago. Then you told us that you went to New Utrecht High School That's the school I might go to. I want to be successful like you.

    Sincerly,

    Dear Robert (aka...author extraordinaire),

    Thank you so so so so so (times 3 million) much for Band of Innocence. I read it and thought that it was AMAZING! I gobbled it up in one hour (yes, I kept track...I wanted to be able to say how long it took me to read it to show how interesting it was). I really like the moral of the story. It just makes me want to be a better person, and start my life over as a child (as in three years old child) and be more "pure" if you will.

    Also, I thought that maybe, as a promotional product, there could be the Amulet that Emily wore and the Sword of Truth that she had in the Amulet. I would definitely buy the Amulet, and I'm sure Ryan would buy the Sword of Truth. Thanks SOOOOO much again for Band of Innocence and I totally look forward to reading the next adventure and seeing more BOI in the future! My dearest mother thinks this could be a Saturday morning show.

    Good luck and best wishes!
    Your #1 fan,

    Hi, this is Ryan and I just wanted to say how much I liked the book. It is one of
    my favorites. I would be very surprised if it isn't published because it kept me reading and it was an action packed comic which was very thrilling to me. The idea of making a movie sounds fantastic and I would camp out for a week to be first to see it. The Band of Innocence is bound to be a classic... action thing with a lot of good and bad guys, you know, kinda like superman. I forget his name but I like the flaming rock guy. In conclusion I really like this book and the format and I thank you for letting me be one of the first to read it and I definitely approve of this book. I hope it gets published.

    Dear Mr. Agnello,
    I thought Band of Innocence was really creative. I really liked the girl, Paka, who could turn into any animal. I was wondering if she could turn into a sabretooth tiger. I felt really good after reading the book and I learned that it's not nice to be greedy. My favorite part was when the animals were holding the guns. I would like to see the Band of Innocence defeating robots and cyborgs in the next book.
