![]() ![]() Many drafts later, Ophelia arrived, and all the pieces started falling into place. I was only really interested in finding out why the boy was there and what his story was – solving the puzzle of the story for myself. ![]() ![]() In the beginning I wasn’t sure at all what age group it was for. I started with the small idea of a boy locked away in a museum room and it grew from there. I was struggling with that one and just wanted to go away and have some fun. OPHELIA was written during a break from writing my second YA novel THE MIDNIGHT DRESS. Did you set out to write a MG novel or did Ophelia’s story simply feel right as MG? ![]() OPHELIA AND THE MARVELOUS BOY is your first MG novel, as your first two published novels were YA. She lives and writes in Queensland, Australia. Her first middle grade novel “Ophelia and the Marvelous Boy” is to be published in January, 2014. She is the author of two young adult novels: “The Anatomy of Wings” and “The Midnight Dress”. Please take the time to read my review of Ophelia and the Marvelous Boy as well… I’ve done my best to capture how absolutely wonderful this novel is and I can only hope I’ve done it justice! A big thank you to Karen Foxlee for taking the time to answer my questions! Furthermore, I cannot express how thrilled I was to be able to interview Karen and that I’m able to share her answers here at The Hiding Spot. For those of you who don’t already know this, I adore Karen Foxlee’s debut middle grade novel, Ophelia and the Marvelous Boy. ![]()
