I'm reading "Space Race: The Epic Battle Between America and the Soviet Union for Dominion of Space" by Deborah Cadbury. It's actually someone's NHD book that they left in class, and I decided to read it! (I think it's Jared's!) I'm on page 81. (Right now it's largely about two scientists, the German von Braun and the Soviet Korolev, who competed against each other to race to space.)
I would ask the author:
1.) What new sources did you find that allowed your book to include information that other books don't?
I would ask this question because she has so many details about von Braun's life and Korolev's life and I'm wondering where she got all these details from.
2.) What role do you believe von Braun had in the concentration camp? I would ask this question because I want to know after all her research if she believes he is partly responsible for the concentration camp manufcaturing rocket parts or if she believes he was simply a Nazi pawn.
The book I am currently reading is called "Twisted" by Sara Shepard, I am on page 169.
The questions that I would ask the author would be:
1~Why/were did you come up with these ideas for this book? This book seems so creative and I was wondering how.
2~Will you be making anymore books in this series because it is AMAZING! This is the last one that just came out but does she plan on making any more books?I hope so!
Mrs.J Thomas~
That is my topic too! Are you enjoying the book? I might have to read that one soon.
I am reading Peak By Roland Smith and I just finished the book.
1) I would ask the Author; How did he hear about this amazing story and deicide to make it into one of his books? This book is a true story that is very interesting, and I had never heard about this story until i read this book.
2) How do you think this impacted Nepal? Many young people have tried to be the youngest person to climb mount Everest so when Peak decides to give it a try, how did people react.
Monica- I felt you did not really get too upclose with your book but I think they were pretty good questions, but the first question could go for almost any book. I would suggest to tailor the question more towards the book.
I just finished the book Perchance to Dream by Lisa Manchev. If I could ask the author two questions they would probably be…
1. If she thought the book would make a good play. I would ask this because the story has a lot to do with plays and play writing and I know the author has experience in a theater. I would like to know if there is a specific reason the story is a book and not a play.
2. I would also ask the author if the main character was based off herself or any one she actually knew. The main character is a pretty radical person and I think it would be really interesting if she was formed from the authors own personality.
Christy
Is peek the kids name?
I just finished the book, A Tale of Two Pretties, by Lisi Harrison. The two questions that I would ask would be:
1.) How do you keep up with all of the latest information and gossip? I know that there are tons of websites out there, and magazines, but some of the things that you talk about are things that I didn't realize. You have so much information, and it is really neat to hear things that me and my friends talk about, but to also have new things to talk about!
2.) What was the main reason that you wrote this book? Did you write this because when you were in middle school, you were just like these girls, or because you always pictured a great life like this? Some of the books that I have read that are similar to this one, the author says how they were always wanting a life like what they wrote about, or they were actually writing their own experiences with characters they made to "live their life." This questions really makes me wonder, more than the other one.!
Christie - That book sounds good! Is it about just a young child that wants to climb Mt. Everest? Is the name of the kid Peak?
Bridget - I love that title! That is a really good question, wondering why it's not a play! I'm wondering what kind of experience she has in theater.
I'm reading Crash into Me by Albert Boris and I'm on page 78.
I just started my book and I haven’t had much time to read very much this week. But if I could ask the writer two questions, the first one would be "what inspired you to write this book?" because it’s about four troubled teens who all have attempted suicide several times and met each other on the internet or in rehab hospitals. They decided to go to on a tour of celebrity suicides around the country and when they get to the final destination, Death Valley, they decide whether to die for good or not. And my other question would be, “Why on earth you write something like that, so sad and upsetting??" because as you read above it’s about suicide, the author must have some personal for writing it, so I'd want to know what that is.
Bridget:
You finally got that book! Tell me how it is! :)
I'm reading Point Blank by Anthony Horowitz. Right now im on page 91 and Alex the main charecter is alomost to a school in Eton.
1) Why did you pick a four-teen year old as a spy and not any adult?
I would ask this question because its very intresting why he got the idea because its so original.
2) Why did you pick the service to be the Britain central intelligecie angency and not the United States?
I would ask this question because i want to know if he wants to stop following how everybody else does it and if he wants to go his own way.
The book Im reading is The Lying Game, by Sara Shepard, and Im on page 93.
If I could ask the author anything, it would be...
1) Where did you get the idea to write about twins who were separated at birth?
Because it's a very interesting and creative back story, and I would like to know how she came up with the idea.
2) Does this book have any personal experiences in it?
Because there are a loot of things in the book like lessons learned, and other stuff that could happen to anyone, and it would be cool if she added personal like lessons in the book.
Ms. J. Thomas- I like how you're reading someone's book. And what a coincidence how it's about the race to get to space, after we just finished the fearful part of the 1950s.
I am on page 393 of "Retribution" by Sherrilyn Kenyon.
i would ask the author:
1.) Why did you name the evil people after animals? it seems kinda weird that the evilest being on earth is named coyote and snake. and that they can cause a apocalypse.
2.) Why does coyote have the power to switch places with someone else? it seems just kind of stupid. i mean its like THEY'RE GONNA GET HIM! then he switches spots with the other guy. And he gets away.
AHines6 ~ why is the book called "A tale of two Pretties?" Like what does that even mean?
I'm currently reading Silent Spring by Rachel Carson and am on page 85. One question I would ask Rachel Carson is- You seem to really know a lot about the environment, did you enjoy learning about nature when you were young? From the way Rachel Carson writes it seems like she really cares about the environment, this seems like it has happened because she grew up learning about it. The second question I would ask is- What do you think needs to be done and how soon? I would ask this because she makes it clear why our environment was like that, but in her opinion what should we do. She doesn't make that part clear, but of course I am only part way through the book.
I am reading The Throne of Fire by Rick Riordan and I am on page 394.
I would ask the author:
1)Why do you write books about gods,monsters and kids with powers? Most writers seem to talk about one or another to avoid confusion.
2)How did you get the idea of having kids fight gods for other gods? Its just a completely odd story in my opinion.
Kyle I agree that switching places with someone is sorta pointless but maybe you can switch places with a person your not after who is near the person you are after.
I just finished reading “The Last Thing I Remember” by Andrew Klavin. If I could ask the author two questions I would have a really hard time, the first question I would ask was why Charlie cant remember doing anything that he was accused of because Klavin didn’t even give a hint to that. The second question I would ask is why Charlie would kill his best friend Alex and why does everyone think he did when he doesn’t.
Paige- that book sounds awesome, good questions.
The book that I'm reading is May Bird and the Ever After by Jodi Lynn Anderson and am on pg. 300, and have 17 more pages to go! If I could ask the author two questions they would be...
1~ What is going to happen with May and the rest of the characters that survived so far? There are only 17 pages left so I'm really excited to see what happens to them. I'm asking that question one because of the amount of pages left in the book but also they've had such a long journey and I don't want to read them being sucked up into nothingness by the Bogey.
2~ What is May Bird's next adventure after trying to get to the Book of the Dead? I know that there is two more books after this one but what else could May do in the Ever After and is she going to even be able to survive that long.
Charles~ Is that another series or just the sequel to one?
Christie~
Wow, that's a true story? It is amazing how the people you least expect to do something outstanding like that, sometimes do.
I am reading "Out of Mao's Shadow: The Struggle for the Soul of a New China" by Philip P. Pan. I am currently on page 10.
If I were to ask the author of this book two questions they would be:
1. Did you ever fear that the Chinese government would persecute you for writing such a book about the horrible things they have done and the inevitable overtake of the Chinese people that they are trying so desperately to prevent while you were in the country researching your book?
~This is because although the author is a reporter from the Washington Post he did speak of things that are forbidden for the people of China to talk of and he brought up points that the government had told the people to forget and has erased from all everyday history. Also, since the Communist government of China always crushes every resistance and has strict rules against freedom of speech it would not surprise me if they were to punish him while he was within their borders.
2. While you were researching and writing this book did your goal change from the beginning to the end?
~I know that the original purpose was to shed some light on the many drastic changes that China has undergone since the Communist take over but if it were me I would have definitely changed my goal for writing the book as I learned more from China's citizens themselves and what the government was doing even today.
KNipper 6
That book sounds like an amazing read and I would love to borrow it when you are done if you would let me. Maybe she used the names of animals with the worst reputations to describe the evil characters or the personalities of the characters with the personalities of the creatures, like shy but feisty for coyote and sly and deadly for snake.
I am still reading Scat by Carl Hiaasen and I am currently on page 62. My book is just starting to get realy good and into the mystery of the lost teacher.
If I were to ask any two questions I would ask:
1) How did the author come up with this story line or did it have anything to do with an event that actually took place?
I would ask this question because this is such an odd story line. The fact that a teacher would run into a burning forest then burn in it is very strange to me. It could also just be a creative thought he came up with!
2) Why Is there any particular reason that this book would take place in a swamp
near Gainesville?
I wanted to know this because Gainesville is a very tiny town and it is odd for carl Hiaasen a very famous writer to write about such a tiny town. I actually found out that carl Hiaasen actually lived here and went to this university!
Rachel:Hey did we read that in 5th grade? I thought i remembered it.
Emily:I just can't get myself to read the books but is that book any different than the show?
I am only on page 19 of My Story by Rosa Parks. The first question I would ask Rosa is: what were you thinking when you refused to give up your seat? What were you thinking about your family? Were you worried about your husband? I would ask her this because I understand why she didn't give up her seat (for equal rights) but I wonder why she wasn't worried about her husband? I wouldn't be able to do what she did because I would be too worried about how it would affect my family.
I would also ask Rosa how was life during the boycott for her; how was she treated, what was jail life like, how did her husbanf react to what she did, how did she react to getting bail for jail, was the boycott hard sometimes, did she ever regret what she did, etc. I would ask her this because she basically started the revolution for blacks' rights in the boycott. Life during it must have been difficult but worth it. I would love to hear all the details from her.
Etappy6 You know that twins seperated at birth has happened a lot in stories right? Like Sister Sister with Tia and Tamara Mowry, and there are a lot others. But I haven't read the book so maybe she puts a twist on it.
Ms. Thomas- Sorry I put husbanf instead of husband! I'm typing on my iPod and it's kind of hard. I read it over to check for mistakes but I missed that one until after I had already posted.
I am still reading The Magician's Nephew by C.S. Lewis and I am on page 180.
I would ask the author himself:
What parts of the bible did he base his story from? Because I know that he bases his Narnian series from the bible.
Also how he came up with some of the ideas of his stories? Because they are very interesting and are very different from many fantasy stories in different ways. I'm thinking he got many of his ideas from his little "fantasy book club" he was in with a few of his friends a long time ago which also included J.R.R. Tolkien.
Pbasting:
I have never read about a book that had everything to do about suicide...that is a bit disturbing...
I just finished reading the book Crocodile Tears by Anthony Horowitz, the eighth book in the Alex Rider series. I would ask the author:
1) How do you create such diabolical villains and their evil plans? I would ask this question because I am always amazed with this series and all of the villains. For example, in this book the villain creates a false charity and makes disasters occur, but they look natural. He then takes all of the money that people donate for the disaster. Their evil plans are so creative and deadly, and I want to know where the author got the idea to use them.
2) How do you come up with such creative gadgets for Alex to use? I would ask this question because Alex always has the most amazing things that help him during his missions. In this book, he has a pencil sharpener that is also a knife, a calculator that can cause security cameras to quit fuctioning, and two exploding pens, as well as many other gadgets in the other books of the series. I would want to know how he came up with those ideas and if they could really work in real life.
Sung Min, good questions. I didn't know that C.S. Lewis was in a "fantasy book club." I think that was creative that you added that to your post. Good job!
I'm reading Wenny has Wings by Janet Lee Carey and I am on page 124. Currently Will and his friend Gallagher are trying to somehow contact Will's dead sister.
The questions I would ask the author are: 1) What Gave you the idea of writing a book like this? It is really depressing so I would like to know what gave you the motivation.
2) Is this book written off of an experience that you have heard of or have experienced in your past?
Monica- I have heard that book and the series if I am correct. It sounds pretty good.
Christie: I have never heard of that book but it sounds like it would be interesting.
I just started reading The Things They carried by Tim O'Brien. I am currently on page 8. Until this part of the story, all the author has really talked about are the things the men of the Vietnam War carried, literally! This book has a unique twist though. Throughout the book so far, the author has mentioned a love story between the lists of what the main character has needed to carry. Such as a box of 'love' notes that weighed an extra pound and
so on . . . I only hope this 233 page book is not just one long list of the things they carried!
I would ask the author:
1 ~ How would you get the information needed to write this book?
I would ask this because how would you know that they needed this, which was 24.6 pounds, and that, which was 36.7 pounds? I would really be interested in how he got this information knowing the author was not apart of the war.
2 ~ How the story has played along so far, I could not imagine this book actually having a plot. How did the author manage to fit an intriguing story into the book?
This I am interested in because I have barely started the book and there are so many great reviews of the book having "such a powerful message it steals your breath" (Milwaukee Journal) and many more like it. This would be fascinating to know.
Duncan ~ You have excellent questions! Keep up the good work.
The book I am reading is The Space Between Trees by Katie Williams and I am on page 180. One question that I have for the author is why did she choose to write this book? The book is about how a girl, Evie, looses her childhood friend, Zabet, because she was beaten to death in the woods and now Evie and Zabet’s best friend are searching for the killer. Another question I have for the author is why have them search for the killer? It is not a very smart idea because they are paranoid about the fact that they could be talking to the killer any given point and so they might get hurt.
I'm reading "The Lost Symbol" by Dan Brown. I am on page 262.
Two questions I would ask Dan Brown:
One, How do you come up with the stories?
I would ask this question because the storyline of his books are so complex and full of facts and architectural detail. When you think the book is going to end there is always a sudden upturn and a surprising new truth is uncovered. And there is always a intricate back story for the characters which makes the story seem real. He must spend days writing out the story line before he even writes a single word. No wonder he's a member in MENSA.
Two, How much research do you do?
This is because Dan Brown books, especially the Robert Langdon stories, have so many historical facts and descriptions of the architectures that comes up in the story. I didn't even know there was a building called Rotunda in Washington D.C.
Rachel - That book seems really interesting! I think I've heard of it before but I can't quite remember it that well...
Paige
That book sounds interesting. I hope the characters decide against suicide and end the story in a happy ending.
I am currently reading Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins, I am on page 233.
1) Writing one good book is hard, but writing a sequal is even harder. How on Earth can you write an equally good maybe even better sequal?
2)How in the first place did you come up with the actual games? And did it end up the way you thought it would or better?
Charles, I love that author, he's truly amazing at mythology books.
Cameron, isn't that a sunshine state book? Good job!
I just finished "Heaven Is for Real" by Todd Burpo and it was an incredible book. If I could ask Todd Burpo 2 questions I would ask him:
1.) Besides God, what gave you the strength to overcome the many hardships you faced in this short period of time?
I would ask this question because Burpo described him breaking his leg, having a kidney stone operation, having a mastectomy, and worst of all having to do all he could to help cure his son from his appendix burst. He explains how he constantly prayed to God during these times, but I am curious to whether friend and family support or other events played a role in him staying strong and overcoming these adversities.
2.)What was the very first thought that came to your mind when your son, Colton, said he had seen you praying while he was in the lap of Jesus?
I would ask this because it seemed incredible that Colton had gone to Heaven during his surgery and was watching the surgery take place and his parents' actions. Todd Burpo is a pastor and I want to know what his point of view on this situation was as a pastor.
DRowe5-
I've always been impressed by the advanced gadgets that Horowitz imagines of for Alex's use. It's also interesting how the gadgets are everyday tools and use for good purposes, but end up being weaponry for Alex Rider.
I just finished my book, Wintergirls, written by Laurie Halse Anderson, author of award winning novel Speak. If I could ask the author two questions, I would ask the author the following:
1.) How do you feel about writing such realistic and emotional topics? How do people react?
I would ask this because Speak and Wintergirls both cover two problems teens face in their lives, and I'm sure that some may be able to relate to these problems. I would hope that teens would be able to ask her questions, and she may be able to help them in return.
2) Are most of your stories based of individuals, or a group of people?
I would ask this because Laurie is very good about making such realistic thoughts and actions for her characters- it makes you feel really connected to them.
Christie- Out of curiosity, how old is Peak in your book?
I am currently reading The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini and I am on page 201. There are many questions I would love to ask this author, but if I had to pick two this would be them:
1.) Did something along the lines of what happens in this book happen to you growing up? There is so much detail in this book and the events that occur are so realistic that it seems impossible that the author did not live through this himself. For example, in this book the main character and his father do not have a very good relationship and I wonder if that was how it was for the author.
2.) Did the ideas in this book come to you easily as you were writing it? I realize that there must have been quite a bit of research done for the historical events, but a lot of these ideas were very deep and meaningful and I wonder if they required a lot of thought.
I am currently on page 100 of 13 Reason Why by Jay Asher. There are many questions I would ask the author, but two main ones. I would first ask the author how he was able to get the perspective of a teenage boy so well. I would ask this question because in the book the main character talks so much like how a teenager, in this age would talk. I would also ask the author where he got the idea of the book. The reason why is because the book is so interesting and wierd.
Christie- Roland Smith is a great author. I love his books, but I haven't read that book. Is it good?
DylanR~
Those are really good questions! I know if I were writing a story, those would most likely be the two most difficult things to come up with.
I’m reading, Wake, by Lisa McMann and I’m on page page 153.
1. I would ask: why did she choose this topic, about dreams. Since the book is about a girl who can read people's dreams any time someone falls asleep around her.
2. I would ask: how many times it took her to revise this book. The book's plot, so far, has been taken unexpected turns. Like, I would think that the next event was going to be something opposite of what actually happened.
~Christie
How do you like the book so far?
I am reading "An Asian Tragedy" by David Detzer and am currently on page fifty five. Currently it is talking about the Geneva Peace accords.
I would ask the author
1.)Were you very interested in writing your book?
I would ask this because the author because he is a history professor and teaches what he writes. He also consults the government on the history of warfare. He could be important to the U.S. if faced with another war.
2.) Were you ever involved in the military? I would ask this because the author gives very specific examples from the war. It's almost like he was there during the war!
Sarah, do emotional topics interest you? I'm asking this because you mention that she writes very emotional books. Great questions by the way.
I'm reading The Fire Thief by Terry Deary I am on page 183. Prometheus is currently running from Zues with abou he met in town.
1st- I would first ask the author where he learned all of the info on the Greek gods and where he got the idea to associate that with the real world.
2nd- I would ask the idea how he ever cam eup with the idea to use Greek mythology as a supporting part of a book this book is actually rather old, the reason that the fact that that is important is because the idea of Greek mythology mixing with the modern day world is common now adays.
CChristiensan- That book sounds really interesting maybe I could borrow it once you finish.
I am reading The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen, and I'm on page 296. Two questions I would ask the author:
1) How did you come up with the game Truth? Did you make it up or did you use to play it when you were in high school? It seems like an important part of the book, and it's really interesting how it helps Wes and Macy develop a friendship.
2) How did you come up with Macy's dad's character? He isn't in the book at all because he died before, but I feel like I know his character very well. His personality is very unique, so I was wondering how you came up with it.
AHines6,
The book sounds like it would be fun to read! It's cool how the author writes about realistic stuff that we can relate to.
My book is Echoes of Combat: The Vietnam War in American Memory by Fred Turner. I just started this book (I finished the other) so I am on page 10. This book is basically exactly what it sounds like; how America remembers the Vietnam War, even today. If I could ask the author two questions, the first would be how many people he interviewed to successfully make this book. (Fred Turner was not actually a part of the war, but is a professor a Stanford University.) I would ask him this because you can tell he got a lot of very good primary sources to write this book. For example, he gives a lot of first hand opinions that US soldier have about the war, and so obviously he would have to receive that information. The other question that I would ask him is what his personal opinion is on the war (however, it will probably touch on that later in the book.) I would wonder this because he throws so many small positive and negative thoughts around, so I would be interested to hear his overall opinion.
Katy: I remember you reading me some of that book the other day, and it very much interested me. We were wondering like, "Wow, why would they carry this..?" or "Oh, that seems really important!" and I definitely agree with you on wondering who the author will incorporate a story, because it seems like it would be difficult to go back and forth to a list and a story!
Freedom Walkers, Russell Freedman, DONE! If I had two questions to ask the author they would be,
1) How did you have to reseach to write this book?
I would ask this because He had many qoutes, and while i was reading, i was wondering if they were from interveiw, because they seemed so persice.
2) Why what influenced you to write this book?
I would ask this, becauase it seemed to be personal as I was reading, and i was wondering if a relitive of him was apart of the boycott
Alyssa: I really liked your question about the qossip, and by that question i waqs reeled into in because it was so interesting.
I am reading "The Circle Trilogy: Black" by Ted Dekker. The page I am on is 367.
If I could ask the author two question they would be:
1)How did you come up with the idea of this book?
I would ask this because the book is very creative and has alot of layers to it so his answer would be very interesting. Especially the parts about the colored forest because the green, pupiless eyes and giant bats are the most creative part in my opinion.
2)The second question I would ask is how much resaerch did you conduct?
I would ask this because he has alot of facts about science and geography such a facts about viruses and where Tom, the main character, is from.
Ms. J Thomas
That sounds like an interesting book, even though it's about history. Also I like the story of how you came across it.
The book I am currently reading is lemonade Mouth by Mark Peter Hughes. I’m on page 338 which also happens to be the last page in my book.
If I could ask Mark Hughes two questions I would ask,
1. Why is the band called Lemonade Mouth? There are so many other beverages out there. Why would you choose lemonade? Out of all the beverages in the world you pick lemonade. It isn’t really interesting it’s just plain. I would have used something different.
2. My second question is why did the band meet in detention? Detention is not the best place to meet your future band mates. I guess it is kind of unique and interesting. I was just curious and I think it was one of the reasons why I liked this book because it had different details in it that made it interesting.

Lena- I like how your character can see other people's dreams, it sounds very interesting.
Im reading Catching Fire By Suzanne Collins,and im on page 85. This book is the second book in the hunger games series. So far its about katniss and Peeta are traveling around panem on the victors tour. If i could ask the author anything i would ask her how she came up with the ideas for the series, because its such an interesting concept, about the hunger games and how Panem came about. Also i would ask why she made Katniss and Peeta be lovers, because when i started reading the books i thought it would be Katniss and Gale together, because there such good friends and it would make a very good story, but then she put Peeta in and it changed everything! and i dont like katniss and peeta together because it doesnt seem real to me.
sarah- what do you mean by emotional? is it sad or heartfelt or is it depressing?
For my book I am reading The Magic Finger by Roald Dahl and I am on page 47. If I could ask Roald Dahl two questions I would have to ask him firstly, why give you the ideas to write all of these books? I would ask that because Roald Dahl has some pretty interesting books that I have read. And the second question I would ask is what inspired him to be an author? This would be my second question because I have always wondered for what reasons people have become professional writers.
DRowe~
What is that book about? I do not think I have heard of it before.
I am currently reading Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins and I am 39% of the way through the book.
If I could ask the author two questions, I would first ask her where she got the inspiration to write the book. It is so complex that I would find it very difficult to come up with the events that occur in the book. I would also ask her what happens to Peeta! At the moment, he is in a lot of trouble and is in danger with the Capitol. I really hope he doesn't die because that would break my heart since Peeta is so sweet.
AHines6- I have not read that book in the series yet, but I would totally ask Lisi about how she keeps up with the latest trends and what not. It's amazing how much she knows about today's teenagers, and how much her books relate to real life.
I am reading the book Esperanza Rising by Pam Munoz Ryan. I am on page 150. If I could ask the author two questions I would ask her how she came up with the idea for the book to be about these Mexicans who immigrate to California and work at camps to be able to survive. The books topic seems so random, like how would someone randomly come up with this type of book unless there might be some reasoning behind it, was there? My second question to ask the author would be, how did she come up with the characters for this book? Like did she have any family or anything that related to these characters? Or was her life maybe similar to the main character, Esperanza's, life? I would ask it because I think the author’s life could be similar to Esperanza's life, and that is how she got her inspiration.
Mefferen6 - Your book sounds interesting, just by the questions you would ask the author! Is it?
I am on page 416 of the book The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan and two questions that I would ask the author would be...
1. How much research about Greek and Roman mythology did you have to do? I would ask this question because all throughout the book he is giving countless and specific examples of Greek and Roman tales. It seems like he knows every single detail about the history of Greek mythology and that is something I am very curious about.
2. What gave you the idea to mix Greek and Roman aspects with modern day North America? I would ask this because it seems odd to me that he would mix these two things. For example, in the book Olympus (the main place of the Greek gods) is on top of the empire state building in New York.
Hunter-
I love that authour and that series! How do you like it so far? I was wondering the same thing for your second question.
