JT: Of the new characters in Wundersmith? I don’t think I could possibly choose between the terrible Dearborn and the even worse Murgatroyd, so I’ll say both. NG KiDS: In the new book, who is your favourite character and why? My favourite book is Little Women by Louisa May Alcott – I LOVE sister stories, stories set in New England, and brave but flawed heroines, and Little Women delivers on all three counts. NG KiDS: Morrigan is a big reader, are you? What is your favourite book? JT: Yes, I’ve always loved reading and I spend WAY too much time in libraries and bookshops. JT: I made up a girl – Morrigan Crow – who was brave, funny and peculiar, then dropped her into the most dangerous, ridiculous city I could imagine. NG KiDS: In less than 25 words, how did you come up with the idea for your first book Nevermoor and then the second book? I check my emails, yawn a lot, take a few minutes to tell my two dogs they’re the cutest, and am usually at my desk by 10:00, ready to work.
JT: Thank you! My schedule frequently changes, but lately I start my day around 09:00, and always with coffee before anything else. NG KiDS: Congratulations on your amazing new book! How does the day start for one of our best ever authors?
