Wow. Mr. Wilson, your last comment, about the knife, I really had no idea what was going on. Was Fat Frank thinking Mordecai was somebody else? (retorical question) But that really cleared it up! One question though. (why do I always say that? Doesn’t the question mark tell you?) When Caleb was yelling no when henry threw the knife because he didn’t know it would free him? Or did he know? (no, caleb isn’t evil…) Did he think Henry would accidentally (not sure if it was an accident the knife didn’t hit him) hit Mordecai?

Sorry about all the questions I write everywhere. I am like a bad rash. You can’t get rid of me!

Wow, I totally agree with Lauren. My friends in fifth grade call me a nerd, but I can’t just sit around watching TV. It gets boring after you see every episode of Spongebob. PS: I adored Dandelion Fire and 100 Cupboards. I would have read both sooner, but our librarian didn’t tell tell until last minute. Lauren: If you’ve haven’t read this read it:Lepike Ridge. That book is so cool. And read The Hunter game or something like that. I’ve read it, but it’s a little gory, but it’s OK.

I love the way you write… so simple, yet so descriptive. Every action is worded perfectly and I can picture it in my head so clearly. You certainly have magic! It was really cool to meet you and to have the opportunity to talk with an author. I hope to be one too, some day…

I just started Dandelion Fire today, it is just as great as the first one. The part in chapter 2 when Henrietta was searching for the key to Grandfather’s room and Henry was watching the dandelion that was on fire, the description was amazing!!!!! It seemed so real and the picture in my head was clear like I was right there.

Where did you get the idea for the trilogy?

Hey Lauren,
Fat Frank did know, which is why he wanted Henry to throw the knife. That knife is what freed Mordecai. I was stealing from an old Celtic mythology about faerie abduction. According to some stories, the only thing that could bring you back from faerie entrapment was the christening of your own child–and at the christening, a blood relative had to throw a blade over your head, or you’d walk right through the room and back to faerie-land for good. But I should stop talking, or I’ll end up spoiling the next book. Cheers.

Thanks for the advise I will have to look some of her books up.
I had a question about your book though.
In Dandelion Fire when Henry was being Christened and Mordecai came in.
Why did Fat Frank tell him to throw the knife? Didn’t Frank know that it was Mordecai?
