It's different from last time because there was no ARC (advanced reader copy) with Click! so no one had ever read it before it's release date. JG: Ooo! Scary! Are you getting very excited about the novel's release? I know you have a previous book ( Click!: The Girl's Guide to Knowing What You Want and Making It Happen, 2007), but does it seem different this time?ĪM: I am very, very excited but also much calmer than last time. What if Digit's gift was a threat to national security?
JG: And the idea for the sequel (the one that I know you are working on but that you haven't let me read yet)?ĪM: The idea for the sequel came from a very small thought: I think we need to take it up a notch. We were talking about a recent New York City kidnapping and Gretel said, "What if the girl is faking it? What sort of person might need to be taken?" I had my character and, pretty soon, my plotline. JG: I know that the idea for A Girl Named Digit came from a conversation you had with your former babysitter, Gretel Dennis, to whom the book is dedicated.ĪM: Yes. (Skip over hair color, colonoscopy, root canal, and husbands to parts where we discuss new novel.)
JG: Did I tell you that I got roped into co-chairing my kids' elementary school musical next winter? Am I insane?ĪM: I just spent all week at our school attaching bobby pins to Indian headbands. AM: How am I? I am up to my elbows in Peter Pan costumes, that's how I am.
