We read about Isobelle Carmody's characters in the books, but we don't often get to really know them. I mean, what is Elspeth's favourite meal, how does Ember maintain that perfect firey frizz, and how does Nathaniel think he will go on his final exams?

It's these pressing questions that have led us to recruit you to conduct an exclusive interview with any character from any of Isobelle Carmody's books.

Entry requirements
- You can only pick one character per interview,
- You can enter up to 3 times using 3 different characters.

You can ask them anything you want, as long as you:
- Ask no less than 10 and no more than 20 questions,
- Keep it PG.

Each entry should be no longer than 2000 words. As specified before, you can enter this one up to three times.

Submission Suggestions
- This is an interview, so dialogue between both interviewer and interviewee is expected, otherwise we leave it up to you as to how you answer the questions :)
- Try not to just receive an answer, but elicit some reason as to why they provided that answer.

Entries open from now until 28 February 2013.

Pointage:
1st: 40 points
2nd: 30 points
