Today's Reader Q&A comes from 14-year-old Maddie from Bridgeville, PA. In her responses below, she explains what she finds so appealing about the character Thea from the Worldweavers Trilogy, reveals what she'd ask famed poet and and short-story writer Edgar Allan Poe if they'd ever met, and shares her thoughts on the last two Harry Potter movies.If you could trade places with any character from a book for a day, who would you be and why?
I would want to be Thea from the Worldweavers Trilogy by Alma Alexander. I would want to be her because she is so unique and yet exactly the same as everyone else.
What is the last book you read? Would you suggest it to a friend? Why or why not?
The last book I read was CATCHING FIRE by Suzanne Collins. Yes, I would suggest this book to a friend, because it is unlike anything I have ever read. However, I would suggest that they read the first book first, or else they will be totally lost.
Name three characters from a book that you'd like to invite to your birthday party.
Well I'd like to invite Eragon from the Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini, Rose Hathaway from the Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead, and Clary from the Mortal Instruments Trilogy by Cassandra Clare.
If you had the opportunity to meet any author (dead or alive), who would you choose to meet, and what three questions would you ask him/her?
I would choose to meet Edgar Allan Poe. I would ask him what made him write the things he wrote, and how the people of his time accepted his writing.
What movies have you seen that were based on books? Did you like the book or film version better? Why?
I have seen numerous movies based on books, the first being Harry Potter. Personally, I thought the last 2 movies were horrible, so I liked the books better. (However I think that is true for any book you read and then seen turned into a movie.)
