So today I was at a homeschool event, and one of my friends is finally reading the Green Ember books. So, I asked her who her favorite character was. She said Heather or Emma. (She just finished the second book, BTW.) I asked her if she'd liked Smalls. Her answer: "I was mad when he died because he and Heather were supposed to get married." I AM LAUGHING SO HARD RIGHT NOW!!!!
So then I mentioned how Helmer wasn't originally going to exist, and she said she couldn't imagine the series without him.... she's gonna be so mad....
And she was interested in the Green Ember Archer books too, so I am very happy about that.
Have a great day y'all.
Okay got something I have to add.
My friend Bob is finally reading the Green Ember. So I asked her who her favorite character was. And. She. Said. SMALLS!!!!! She hasn't read Ember Falls yet, soooo.... this should get interesting.
