Bring your camera! I’d be happy to take a pic with you and your little readers!
Keep your eyes peeled for more dates…and another surprise guest!

i can not tell you how much WondaLa has inspired me!i am a young person hoping to become a writer.i write,scetch and dream of publishing a book i wrote and illustrated . Tonny DiTerlizzi is an amazing writer.a million thanks goes out to him.
Are there any date planned for the South. I grew up reading the spiderwick books and would love to meet one of the genious behind it.
Thanks
I think I am getting a final itinerary this week, Callum. I’ll update as soon as I do.
Aww no northern ireland
. When you’re there don’t join in with too many riots 
Can you hurry up and finish the second novel as i want to know if Eva finds te rest of the humans.
Well, being from Australia (a bit further away than simply hopping the pond to England!) I never thought I’d get this chance…. but seeing as I happen to be in the neighbourhood (or rather, hanging out with Nomad Hungarians in Eastern Europe) I took the opportunity to take a little detour and visit ye olde Great Britain….. just in time to come and see Mr. DiTerlizzi and maybe even Mr. Riddell …. can’t wait
Wow. You just may get the award for “Farthest traveled to attend a book signing”.
Hi. i thought that you came to Edinburgh but upon closer exception i found i was wrong. i was really looking forward to going up there to get my spiderwick ( & beyond spiderwick) & wondla books. my parents said it would have been a big push for me to go up to Edinburgh as i live in Newcastle which is 2 hours away by car. if you happen to do another tour of England could you please do tours up in the north east of England because most if not all of the book signings are based near, in & around London.
P.S. If i m turning blind & there is a tour in Edinburgh or nearby please reply A.S.A.P
Hi Tom,
I am in Edinburgh on this tour, but I am doing a “school only” presentation tomorrow (9/21/11) that, unfortunately, is not open to the public (as I am doing it in the middle of a school day). If you want, you can contact the school, Merchiston Castle school in Edinburgh…
Thanks for being such a fan. I wish I had more time to tour your beautiful country.
I wish you were coming up to Newcastle
I’ve been a fan of your work all through my childhood and your art and books have inspired me to draw myself.
It would be great if you came up north. Maybe next time?
I would have loved to have visited Newcastle, Matthew, but Edinburgh was as far north as I got…perhaps next time.
I am soooooo disappointed to have missed your book signing visits to England – I hadn’t realised you were coming. I am such a huge fan and wondered if you are planning any more dates before you return to the US?
