Goodreads asked Laura Smith:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Laura Smith One night, I was driving a friend home, and we passed the local playground where we had played as kids. She suggested that I write a book about the games we used to play at the park as kids. That inspired me to come up with the story for "The Castle Park Kids."
