Laura Fisher asked Cornelia Funke:

Hello, I'm a huge fan of your work and unlike most other people here, the Mirrorworld series is my favorite :) I just wanted to ask tweo things about book 4: 1. Is there going to be more 'screen time' for Jacob and Fox in book 4? They are my favorite characters and I felt quite sad when they weren't that much in the Golden Yarn compared to the other parts. 2. How is the writing on book 4 go?

Cornelia Funke :) Hello MirrorWorlder:)
I don't decide that. The story does. So far it looks as if Jacob and Fox will be at the center of things (but I admit I felt that of the Golden Yarn too) They travel to Japan, where the Fox plays a very special role so I expect this to be a very special journey especially for the shapeshifter:) I know what the story will be about but it always changes while I am writing and Book 4 has surprised me already when it revealed what (and who) I should expect to meet. I just wrote the first chapter but I am currently still finishing an edit for another book. Book 4 will be my first task from June onwards
