Then did you write any books that are NOT based on refugees or people who have suffered through wars?
Marsha Forchuk Skrypuch
I've got two picture books that have nothing to do with war and refugees. One is When Mama Goes to Work, and the other is a baby book, called The Best Gifts. My first two novels weren't set during war. Both are young adult contemporary novels. They both have war and displacement in them, but it's their grandparents, not them. Those novels are Hope's War and The Hunger. Also, my 2022 novel isn't set during a war, but it sort of is. It's set during the Holodomor in 1930s Ukraine when the dictator in Moscow decided to wipe out Ukrainians by starvation. There's a listing of all my books on my website, which is www.calla.com

Hi, I'm Sofia. I like to read about how people fought back against the Nazi. I have already read "The War Below", and I am hoping to read "Making Bombs for Hitler" next. Thanks for making great books to read, I really appreciate it! Can you make some more books about the resistance?

Marsha Forchuk Skrypuch:
I recently read your book Making Bombs for Hitler and could not put it down. I found it on my spring Scholastic Book Fair and was captivated from the first chapter. I think it was well crafted with amazing characters. I was happy to see a strong female protagonist who did not give up. What an inspiring book! I would like to know what age level you had in mind when writing this one?
