I was thrilled when I was asked to be a part of ’s for her latest book , the second book in The .

lara morganLara took the time to answer the following questions for us:

What was your favourite book as a young child? – I was obsessed with The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe series and read them all too many times to count.

What was your favourite book as a teenager? – The Outsiders by SE Hinton. I’ve still got the copy on my shelf.

What is your all time favourite book? – Such an impossible question to answer this one, but one of my very favourites books is The Earthsea Quartet by Ursula Le Guin. It’s actually a series of books but my copy has them all in one so I think I can count them!

Is there a book that you can read over and over again? – See above. I also have a weakness for M. M. Kaye’s Death in the Andamans. It may be old fashioned now, but I love it because it’s set on a tropical island and it has romance as well as a mystery. Perfect for rainy afternoons with chocolate.

Are there any books that have helped to shape you as an author? – Lord of the Rings, Earthsea, Wuthering Heights, Wild Seed by Octavia Butler. They have all been books that have had a great impact on me at different times in my life for a variety of reasons.

What would Rosie’s favourite book be? – I think Rosie would love To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee, because she has such a strong sense of justice and she’d really relate to the independence of the character Scout.

What would Pip’s favourite book be? – Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain, because I think he would find a lot to admire in Huck – and probably some similarities!
