THE FIVE:
1. What do you love most about your main character?
That he does the right thing, even when he's afraid.
2. What would your super power be?
Invisibility. Then I could listen to other people's
conversations without looking creepy. Come to think of it, that answer is
probably creepy.
3. What single thing would improve the quality of your life?
I suppose “winning lottery ticket” would be too easy. But I
did just discover the Post-It Note desk, which would make life much better. And it would be in my own writing office, of course.
4. What song would you have played at your funeral?
I'd love for my funeral to turn out like the “All You Need
Is Love” wedding scene from Love Actually.
5. If you knew you would be stranded on a desert island, which
book, piece of music, and snack food would you take with you?
Hmm, is it cheating to say a giant 7-volume book that
includes the whole Harry Potter series? If so, then I guess I'd have to
pick Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, and then lie in the sand and
replay the rest of the series in my head. For music I'd take “Under Pressure,”
because it's one of the best songs ever and I never get tired of hearing it,
and for snack food I'd take chocolate-covered strawberries, 'cause they're
chocolate, of course, with the added bonus of scurvy protection.
ABOUT CHAINED:
After ten-year-old Hastin’s family
borrows money to pay for his sister’s hospital bill, he leaves his village in
northern India to take a job as an elephant keeper and work off the debt. He
thinks it will be an adventure, but he isn’t prepared for the cruel circus
owner. The crowds that come to the circus see a lively animal who plays soccer
and balances on milk bottles, but Hastin sees Nandita, a sweet elephant and his
best friend, who is chained when she’s not performing and punished until she
learns tricks perfectly. Hastin protects Nandita as best as he can, knowing
that the only way they will both survive is if he can find a way for them to
escape.
