  • How does it feel to be a character in a book?
    I love being a character in a book! It is a lot of fun! I never know what trouble Carole Marsh will get me into!
  • What’s your favorite James Bone book?
    ALL of them! Each one has taken me a different place. I learn a lot and get to get dirty!
  • When do you have to “work” as a character?
    Anytime Carole Marsh wants to write—sometimes that’s in middle of the night! I do what she says—most of the time. But sometimes I whisper a better idea in her ear!

  • Why are you friends with Pick and Shovel?
    We have been friends a long time! They are so cool. They love dinos like I do. Shovel is smart. Pick is brave. They help me. And we like to eat and laugh a lot!
  • Are the villains in the book scary?
    Oh, really, they just act scary. They are bullies. As you might notice, we always figure out how to foil these foes!
  • What’s your favorite thing to do when you are not being a book character?
    I love to go to museums and see humongous dinosaurs!
  • What’s your favorite color?
    Red—as long as it’s not blood!
  • What’s your favorite food?
    I like ice cream cones and cotton candy!
  • Why does your mom let you go on all these adventures?
    I think she thinks it keeps me out of trouble to stay so busy all weekend! I am not so sure she is right about that! What do you think?
  • Do you have a favorite dinosaur?
    Yes! ALL of them!
  • How can I write to you?
