This made my day. I wish I'd had a chorus teacher like this one.
I fell in love with the cover of Alexandra Bracken's debut novel--Brightly Woven--last fall and the scant synopses I could find at the time certainly piqued my interest. After managing to get my hands on an ARC, I found myself surprised and pleased with this unique fantasy. You can read my review here. As the release date approached, I invited Alex to participate in an interview and giveaway here on the site and, despite her crazy busy schedule, she kindly accepted. Enjoy! First things first: When did the idea for Brightly Wovenfirst hit you and what (if anything) did you know right off the bat?

ReplyDeleteJenn, I know! Those are the kinds of people you want teaching your kids. Man.
ReplyDeleteAlicia, they're all so cute. And so into it!
Aaron, exactly.
Liza, you just want to hug them they're so cool.
What I love is how unabashed the kids are. Every single one of them is into the music and no one is making fun of anyone for it. LOVE IT.
