When Sophie's family moves from New York City to West Virginia, she not only has to leave her friends and the city and library she loves so much, but she has to figure out what will happen when she discovers that there is no library in her new town. But when she discovers something called a bookmobile and other new treasures, all is right with the world.
Interview
with Kathleen M. Jacobs
How did you become
involved with the subject or theme of your book?
Like
Sophie, I moved from a large city to the Appalachian Region when I
was a young girl. I was devastated that there was not a library in
the town where we were moving. I always wanted to write a book
about that experience.
Anything you would like to say to
your readers and fans?
Thank you!
Thank you! Thank you so very much for reading Sophie & the
Bookmobile and loving it!
What did you enjoy most about
writing this book?
Everything!
It was tremendous fun to recall that moment in my life and
fictionalize it and watch it grow into a book.
Can you tell us a little bit about
your next books or what you have planned for the future?
I am working
on my second early chapter reader. It too is a joy to pen.
How long have you been writing?
I don’t
recall a time I wasn’t writing – even as a child I was telling
stories and writing them down in my diary, locking the diary with a
tiny brass key.
If you could spend the day with one
of the characters from Sophie & the
Bookmobile who would it be? Please tell us why you
chose this particular character, where you would go and what you
would do.
In Sophie &
the Bookmobile, naturally I would want to hang out with Sophie and
her friends, but oh so much with Sophie. I’d love to talk with
her about books and cats and her incredible fashion sense!
