KJ Borman asked Gail Carson Levine:

Would you consider "Can a dragon judge ostumo?" to be an Ayorthian proverb? Also, from A Tale of Two Castles: "Love you lice. Only skeletons have none." I know that you have called this an adage, but I was wondering if can also be considered a proverb? Do you have any others that you created that I'm missing?

Gail Carson Levine Yes, I'd consider them proverbs. The one about ostumo comes from a Yiddish proverb my mother used to say, which translates, "What does a pig know about noodles." The lice one I invented, but I don't remember if I came up with others. You'll have to find them!

Katniss10 asked Gail Carson Levine:

I read Ella Enchanted in second grade and it made me fall in love with reading. I would beg my mom every day to take me to the library. So naturally, when I found out about Orge Enchanted, I wanted to read it right away. But I can't find it. Where is it sold?
