Very perceptive of you, Caroline. Nicole&#39;s family is Swiss actually. I remember from talking with you last year at the conference - when you signed my copy of Vero and Philippe - that you lived in Paris as a young girl. <br />Thanks so much for your comments, everyone!Peggy Abrahams Words &amp; Pictureshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02259684930983493989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5362382961449519567.post-79590312434926956512009-08-12T12:08:33.038-07:002009-08-12T12:08:33.038-07:00This was highly entertaining and insightful! <i>Mrs. Piggle Wiggle</i> is one of my childhood favorites, so I&#39;m delighted to hear a line quoted. <i>Forever Rose</i> is a personal (newer) favorite, too. And all the stuff about judging book covers--I love it.<br /><br />Thanks to all three of you for sharing!Ritahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03823648489427679440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5362382961449519567.post-74928825117107978482009-08-12T08:50:42.059-07:002009-08-12T08:50:42.059-07:00How great.

When you said &quot;sophisticated&quot; teens, you were not kidding. Both kids made me sit up and pay close attention to what they had to say. I wonder whether Nicole is somewhat French, like her name, because she likes sad books (like many French kids books even for the very young). I will try to remember her comment forever that &quot;in happy books [characters] always have everything and you&#39;re all bummed out &#39;cause they&#39;re happier than you are.&quot; because it sheds a fresh light on a crucial element: whether a novel leaves readers feeling good or bad, great or lousy. Writers get to engineer and manipulate that!Caroline Hattonhttp://www.carolinehatton.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5362382961449519567.post-85106875478605693772009-08-11T22:09:47.555-07:002009-08-11T22:09:47.555-07:00Fantastic interview!
