Q & A: (Questions and Answers)

Q: Who is your favorite character in the book? (Sent in by Summer O.)
A: My favorite character is Andy! Miss Rawlins isn't bad, either.

Q: How long did it take you to write this book? (Sent in by Summer O.)
A: I wrote it in a day and worked on for a month after that. Lots of
people helped and gave me suggestions.

Q: When did you know that you wanted to become an author? (Sent in
by Holly O.)
A: About five years ago I started to have a lot of characters and ideas
running around in my head. I decided to write them down instead of
going crazy. I hope it worked.

Q: What gave you the idea for this book?
A: I wanted to write a book about a girl named Carmen who couldn't sit
still. Everyone really liked that she couldn't sit still because she had a
scab she wanted to pick--they didn't care so much about the fire drill,
scratchy socks or needing to go to the bathroom. So I made the book
all about Carmen and her scab instead.

Q: Do you eat your scabs?
A: I don't. But I ate an oyster once. I personally think it had to be
worse than eating a scab.

Q: Which character in your book are you most like and why?
A: I am most like the sharks. Behind the scenes, driving the story but
never really in it.
