Hello Huntley! I finished "What I Thought Was True" a couple of days ago anf really enjoyed it! I specificaly liked how you incorporated portuguese in the story telling. ( since I'm portuguese!) I was just wondering how you wrote those senteces in portuguese. Did someone translate it for you or do you speak the language? (becausw they were actually accurate!) Bye ❤

Hi Francisca!
Thank you for writing me. I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed WHAT I THOUGHT WAS TRUE. And exceptionally glad to hear that the Portuguese was accurate. Having had an unfortunate run-in with Spanish and Google Translate for my first book, I did consult a friend who translated. I wish I spoke the language--most people do around here. My 3rd daughter keeps asking incredulously how it is that we can't be Portuguese because nearly everyone in her class is. So, I very much appreciate the affirmation that I got it right ; )
Warmly,
Huntley

What inspired you to write My Life Next Door? Also, in The Boy Most Likely To, do we get to read Tim's thought on Samantha and Nan no longer being best friends?
