Kristine Franklin asked Gabrielle Zevin:

Could you please (pretty please) tell me what C S Lewis quote you are referencing that is tattooed on Jacob's wrist?? A few friends and I have read and dearly loved this book. Thank you! Kristine

Gabrielle Zevin Thank you! There are several possible answers to this question, and I almost hate to narrow it down to one. Perhaps it's silly, but I like readers to be able to imagine whichever quote they'd like on Jacob Gardner's wrist. However, if pressed, I think it most likely comes from the dedication of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe: "some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again."—gz

Marcia B asked Gabrielle Zevin:

I’m enjoying the book but I noticed on page 147 Donkey Kong ia described as a ‘little Japanese Italian plumber’ - but that’s Mario, not Donkey Kong. I’m wondering if that was on purpose to make us pause or if you never played Donkey Kong and hence why the confusion? :)

Clare dooley asked Gabrielle Zevin:

Will there ever be anymore books in the series " In the Age of Blood and Chocolate "? I love all your writing, well that's a slight fib I consider you an author who's novels I can pick up to get lost in a whimsy twist on life , when I saw " the holes we dig " , it was so dark. Such an accurate portrayal of where alot of ppl are in life current day. But I must admit it made me sad to think you may put the whimsy away?
