AG Summer asked Soman Chainani:

Hello! I would like to ask...would you like to make a whole new series, yet based on Callis and Vannessa's story? Or maybe...make a movie about each one of the School for Good books so that more people can peer into the story of Sophie and Agatha? I have read all of these books...but I find it a really interesting though and question.

malayna asked Soman Chainani:

Is the fourth book going to be about the same characters? Also, will I have to reread the first three books to know what is going on in Quests for Glory? (I read those a really long time ago, so I might not remember much about it). Thanks so much! PS I am a huge fan! :)
