Join us for another round of If You Ask Me! Today we'll be featuring responses from Sid from Centennial, CO, Jaela from Cincinnati, OH, and Darnnel from St. Louis, MO.
If you could trade places with any character from a book for a day, who would you be and why?
SID: Seth from The Kingdoms and the Elves of the Reaches. He's got mad crazy skills!
JAELA: Katniss Evergreen, because of the things she goes through during the Hunger Games...I’d love and loathe being there.
DARNNEL: Vilmos Tabborath from Kingdoms and the Elves of the Reaches. He's a teen just like me and he battles evil. He is a reborn hero and is very, very, very brave.
What is the last book you read? Would you suggest it to a friend? Why or why not?
SID: In the Service of Dragons 4. I told my friends, Alex and Marta, to read it and they did. They liked it as much as me.
JAELA: Catching Fire...the suspense.
DARNNEL: In the Service of Dragons. I'd recommend it to everyone and I have because it is the best most best written book I ever read in my life and I loved it. It has titans and eagle lords and heroes and magic. Nothing ever was better in the whole world.
Name three characters from a book that you'd like to invite to your birthday party.
SID: Easy peasy! Adrina Alder, Vilmos Tabborath and Emel Brodstson from The Kingdoms and the Elves of the Reaches. I'd be Seth.
JAELA: Katniss, Peeta and Gale.
DARNNEL: Vilmos Tabborath from Kingdoms and the Elves of the Reaches. He's like a best friend. Arianna Kelt from Arianna Kelt and the Wizards. She's cute and good and powerful. Ayrian from In the Service of Dragons. I never met an eagle lord and I'd like to.
Do you have a favorite quote from a book? If so, what is it?
JAELA: Whenever Zoey from The House of Night novels says, "Bullpoo! pie".
DARNNEL: "They're names are Seth and Galan. They are not strangers. They are friends." It's from Kingdoms and the Elves of the Reaches 3.
Tell us about your top three favorite books of all time.
SID: In the Service of Dragons, The Kingdoms and the Elves of the Reaches, Arianna Kelt and the Wizards of Skyhall.
JAELA: Sorry I love too many books to pick just three.
DARNNEL: Kingdoms and the Elves of the Reaches, Arianna Kelt and the Wizards, In the Service of Dragons.
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?
JAELA: V.C. Andrews--- What made you think of the stories of all the books you've written? How long did it take to think of the stories? Who inspired your writings?
DARNNEL: Robert Stanek. I want to give him a hug and tell him he is my most favorite author in the world. I think he needs a big hug because some people are so mean. I'd ask him, “If he's ever going to write a sequel?, If Edward is really dead?, and How come his dragons are so cool?!
What movies have you seen that were based on books? Did you like the book or film version better? Why?
JAELA: The Lovely Bones, The Twilight Saga, I prefer books because movies always leave out details if not major then minor parts.
