Don’t read my interview with Elizabeth Wein!
I know this is an unusual way to advertise an interview, but if you haven’t read Code Name Verity – aka the best book this year – it will spoil the book for you.
You want to read CNV. You know you do. So read it and then hurry back here for a fun interview with an author who admits to knowing her book was going to be great. (Those Americans are so modest…)
I loved meeting Elizabeth last month, and my strongest feeling afterwards has been that ‘I simply must read Code Name Verity again.’ Please join me.
(Sorry the photo is a bit blurry. Elizabeth was laughing. She did that a lot. And perhaps I was shaking a little.)

Wow, it’s on the New York Times list of Notable Children’s Books for 2012! Well done! I’ve got Code Name Verity waiting by my bed – I’ll be reading it as soon as I finish writing my own novel – which is not too far away!
