Growing up with your books

Ask Michelle Anything

Rosie writes…

The first time I read one of your books was when I bought Wolf Brother in a waterstones at the age of about 10. I was completely infatuated and bought the rest of the series which I can safely say for the last 9 years i’ve read religiously and was prepared whenever a new one was published. I’m 19 now and off to University in 2 weeks. For the most recent christmas, My family bought your whole book set for me again in a less beaten and overly read form and I’m pleased to say it’s one of the first things I packed to take. I grew up reading the Wolf Brother series and genuinely it helped me in ways I can’t even explain. They inspired me and even now i’m going into a Creative Writing degree to write for people the way you wrote for so many. So from the heart of my inner child whom your books basically raised, thank you so much.

Michelle Replies…

Dear Rosie,

Thank you for such a wonderful and moving message.  I can’t tell you how pleased I am that the Wolf Brother stories have helped you, and been part of your life.  And I’m honoured that you’ll be taking them with you when you start at University – particularly as you’ll be studying Creative Writing.   May the guardian run with you – and may your own writing go from strength to strength!  With very best wishes, Michelle
