Which of your own books do you HATE the most?

What a great question! I was doing author presentations at a school yesterday, to present my Silver Birch Express nominated title, Myles and the Monster Outside, when I got this hilarious, and really honest, question from a middle-grade boy.

After laughing, I answered something like, well you know, maybe I'm lucky, but I don't actually HATE any of my books. I can tell you which one was the hardest to write though: The Gargoyle Overhead, which was book two in a trilogy I didn't know that I was going to write when I wrote book one.

There were other fabulous questions, too, like What's the message in your book, Myles and the Monster Outside? (imagination can make you anxious, but it can make you brave, too), What's the scariest book you've ever read? (Stephen King's Full Dark, No Stars) and a lot more.
