Hi again, Emerson,

I haven\'t read BUD, NOT BUDDY yet, but I intend to. I understand it was a very good Newberry Prize winner.

Hi again, Chloe,

Your questions:

1. I was interested in cloning, and dreamed up an experiment that would involve clones of criminals to see if they would be bad like their genes would indicate, or good because they were raised in a peaceful lovely place. The question was are kids the result of "nature" or "nurture?"

2. Just that I thought it would be kinder if Eli didn't have to find out he was the child of someone evil.

3. I think it was pretty clear that Tori was drawn to Eli. And for sure you must have noticed that Amber and Malik were crazy about each other. I think we have two couples there.

Hope these are good answers! I'm SO glad you like the books so much! ---GK---
