Julie Clarahan asked Kate DiCamillo:

Will there be any more Mercy Watson books? I read this series in our school library every year and the kids really want to know what will happen next.

Kate DiCamillo Julie! There will be (staring this August) Further Tales from Deckawoo Drive. These books (4 planned so far) will tell the stories of some of the secondary characters from Mercy Watson books. First up is Leroy Ninker.

Janet Aljunaidi asked Kate DiCamillo:

My 12-yr-old wrote that she loved your characters because "None of them are perfect, but they all mean well. Like the preacher tries hard to be a good dad, but he's always busy with being a preacher." Do your characters show up in your head with a flaw already or as the story comes out the flaw(s) reveal themselves? Thank you!
