Title:\u00a0 Margot and Mateo Save the World
\n
Genre:\u00a0 Middle Grade Science Fiction
\n
Age Range:\u00a0 8-12<\/p>\n

Launch Date:\u00a0 July 3, 2018

<\/p>\n


Please tell us a little bit about your book.<\/span> <\/strong><\/p>\n

In Margot and Mateo two, unlikely middle school friends race to save the world from an alien slug invasion! It contains, among other things: a mysterious beached whale, a bumbling scientist, an ill-fated middle school production of \u201cRomeo and Juliet\u201d, alien goo, and salt. Lots of salt.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b>What inspired you to write this story and\/or these characters?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

My husband, Ben, and I were on a lunch date at a sushi restaurant early last year, and happened to sit next to a mother and her daughter. The daughter, who was probably about nine years old, had blue-streaked hair, gold flash tattoos, and was ordering eel for lunch. She had more self-confidence in her little finger than I did in my entire body, and I was blown away by her. Right away, I knew I wanted to write a book with a heroine like her: a girl who was strong, and smart, and capable of doing anything she wanted to do, including saving the world.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b>Everyone says writing is a process. Could you share a little about your writing and\/or research process?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I have two small children at home, so every minute of writing time is precious! I wrote my first book almost entirely in the middle of the night, typing one-handed while breastfeeding. (I can still type over 70 WPM with one hand!) Our youngest son just started 4K last year, so for the first time, I had two and a half hours to write uninterrupted every day. I still try to steal every minute I can, though; I\u2019ve been known to hide behind our kitchen counter with a notebook . . .<\/p>\n

We know no writer is created in a vacuum. Could you tell the readers about a teacher or a librarian who had an effect on your writing life?<\/span> <\/strong><\/p>\n

The setting for my first novel, ROLL, is actually a thinly-veiled version of my hometown, in southern Minnesota. When I went back to do a library presentation about ROLL for the first time, SEVEN of my elementary\/high school teachers came out to support me. Almost every single one of them mentioned how I always had a book with me at school, and how they knew I would go on to be a writer. So while it wasn\u2019t one teacher or librarian in particular, I was incredibly lucky to grow up with people who believed in me, and made me believe in myself.<\/p>\n

What makes your book \u00a0a good pick for use in a classroom? <\/span>Is there any particular way you\u2019d like to see teachers use it with young readers\/teens?<\/span> <\/strong><\/p>\n

One of my biggest pet peeves about middle grade fiction is when stories get labeled as \u201cboy\u201d or \u201cgirl\u201d books! There\u2019s a misconception that action books are just for boys. With that in mind, I had a single goal for MARGOT AND MATEO: to write the most off-the-wall, hilarious, action story that I could, featuring a fearless girl heroine in the lead. My hope is that MARGOT AND MATEO will appeal to everyone, especially reluctant readers!<\/p>\n

I<\/span>\u2019m<\/strong> a little dog obsessed here at www.patriciabaileyauthor.com<\/a>. Would you tell the readers about \u00a0your favorite dog (real or imaginary)?<\/span> <\/strong><\/p>\n

Paws down, my favorite dog in the world has to be our puppy, Snake! (Our four-year-old named her after a dream he had.) She\u2019s pretty much the greatest thing to ever happen to us, and has already tripled in size since we got her! Now if we can just get her to stop chewing the siding off our garage . . . <\/b><\/p>\n

You might want to check out Darcy’s other book, ROLL, too. (Trust me, you do). You can read my rave review below:<\/p>\n

\"Roll\"<\/a>Roll<\/a> by Darcy Miller<\/a>
\nMy rating: 5 of 5 stars<\/a><\/p>\n

There’s so much to love about Darcy Miller’s MG debut. Ren is likeable and funny – and his worries and doubts are so easy to relate to. Sutton is smart and self-aware, and has the coolest hobby ever – training roller pigeons. Together, they face a summer of change in heartfelt and interesting ways.
\nFunny, engaging, and ultimately full of hope – Roll tackles the very real issues of growing up (and maybe growing apart) in an authentic way. A wonderful read.<\/p>\n

View all my reviews<\/a><\/p>\n

Thanks, Darcy!<\/p>\n
