1.  If you could trade places with any other person for a week, famous or not famous, living or dead, real or fictional with whom would it be?

DALYA MOON: I'd love to be Anna Scott, the character played by Julia Roberts in the movie Notting Hill, the week after the film's climactic scene, when she's reunited with the guy Hugh Grant plays.   I guess that's a bit specific, huh? I saw that movie after a breakup and it's cheesy to admit to loving romantic comedies, but it made me believe in love again.

2.  How are M&M's made?

DALYA MOON: I think I've actually seen them being made at their factory, in one of those "How Stuff Works" documentaries I'm a sucker for.  The shocking part is the sheer quantity!  I love M&Ms, especially at the movie theatre, but you must never smell the air that comes out of the bag when you first wrestle it open.  It smells like those bins they have at Starbucks now for recycling your paper cups.

3.  If you were a cat what would you want your name to be?

DALYA MOON: Not Poo-poo Kitty, which is what some friends of mine named their cat.  Poo-poo Kitty is now about a hundred years old and still angry about the name, or so it would seem.  If I were a cat, I wouldn't mind being called Boots, especially if I were orange with little white boots.

Hahaha - Thanks, Dalya!

SYNOPSIS: Charlie Woodchuck is the most minor of niners. She's the youngest girl at Snowy Cove High School, and so clueless, she wore leg warmers and acid-wash jeans on her first day. Big mistake! Almost as big a mistake as signing up for a boys-only shop class.

Just when she thinks the first week of high school can't get any more weird, Charlie discovers she may be adopted. According to the genetics section in her Science textbook, her eyes should be blue, not brown.

Before she graduates from the ninth grade, the girl with the boy's name and the wrong eye color will employ her detective skills to discover her true identity. She'll use power tools to build fantastical wood creations, and before the year ends, she'll face down the biggest bullies of all: the all-powerful members of Snowy Cove's School Board.

What inspired your novel or series? Discuss writing it.

DALYA MOON: I was inspired by my own lacklustre performance in a school play, and the regret I've always felt about not shining a little brighter.  I wondered what a character who felt she was in a similar shadow might do to step out on her own.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

DALYA MOON: I write Middle-Grade and Young Adult fiction. My first published novel, Charlie Woodchuck is a Minor Niner, was released in August 2011. A follow-up book is scheduled for late Fall 2011. While my books are fictional, some of the issues and incidents are based on things that have happened to me in real life, like, for example, getting run over by a toboggan. These days, I am very careful around the base of snowy hills.I currently live outside of the U.S., but my books are set in fictional Snowy Cove, Maine.
