Cole Slaw asked Gail Carson Levine:

In 2006, when I was 11 years old, I read The Two Princesses of Bamarre- It was the one book that made me fall in love with reading (and now I'm studying literature in college!). What books would you recommend to young readers that typically do not read much? (Aside from your own fantastic books!)

Manna
Manna asked Gail Carson Levine:

I can't wait for your sequel to a tale of two castles! Which of your books are you most proud of?

KJ Borman
