Hi again, Sha’anne. Here are the answers to your class questions:
– Nothing happens with Cap and Sophie. If you read back, you’ll note that Sophie is quite a bit older than Cap. Now, Cap and Naomi — that might be a different story!
– The dead bird was probably a bird that flew into a window and killed itself. Nobody killed the bird. It was just one of the poor little things that we sometimes find dead in the grass.
– Inspiration is something most authors don’t really need. We write because we have something to say. That’s just about all it takes to start us scribbling.
– In the 8th grade, my favorite book was THE HITCHHIKERS GUIDE TO THE GALAXY by Douglas Adams. Put it on your list! It’s super!
– I don’t think Rain is looking for a boyfriend, people. If she is, it will be a fine elderly gentleman — don’t forget that Rain is Cap’s grandmother.

OK? I hope that covers everything you wanted to know. Thanks for your interest. I’m glad SCHOOLED was so enjoyable for so many of you.
Regards,
