Alice-Miranda is off on a new adventure – and this time she’s heading to…
Lots of readers have been asking me where Alice-Miranda is headed next. So, here are some clues. This country is famous for many things; golf, tartan, bagpipes…have you got it yet? A certain monster in a loch, a castle perched on a high cliff overlooking a city, rolling green hills, whiskey and haggis.
If you’ve guessed Scotland then you’d be right. I can’t reveal too much more as I’ve only written 15,000 words but there will be lots of fun, friends, enemies, a big mystery and plenty of laughs too. I’ve been back at my desk since the 27th December and have a deadline that I don’t even want to think about – fortunately I’m loving the story, so hopefully the words will continue to flow and I’ll make my targets each day.
I look forward to sharing more very soon and I hope that Alice-Miranda in Scotland will be on your reading list for later in the year.
Tamara K
That sounds like fun! Does she go to Scotland with her family or school?
Kim
Pretty sure Caprice is gonna crash the party whoever she goes with, though
Jacqueline Harvey
Oh not only Caprice! There are a few other past characters who are coming along as well. You’ll have to watch and see!
Taylah
I feel like Millie’s cousin will be involved… Idk why but I feel like it…
Jacqueline Harvey
You just might be right there Tayla!
inaayah ali
i think millies cousin is madacascar/maddie
kalea
whos millies cousin?
Jacqueline Harvey
A big surprise 🙂
Taylah
I was actually right sksksksk
inaayah ali
i feel that Alethea is coming
Jacqueline Harvey
You might just have very good instincts there! You’ll have to wait and see 🙂
Tamara K
I felt that Alethea might be involved as well!
Jacqueline Harvey
mmm….perhaps :)!
Amy
I do too!
Bella
Is Blade coming? Will Caprice finally find out what he was saying?
Alice-Miranda in Hollywood is so cool!!! Can’t wait for #17! 🙂
-Bella:)
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Bella,
I’ll have to keep you in suspense on that one :)!
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Holly
I bet you it’s Alethea! We haven’t seen any of her since Alice-Miranda went to New York. Maybe Fabien or Lucinda will come back, we haven’t seen them for a while either. The carnies should be back in town soon, too.
Jacqueline Harvey
You’ve got good instincts Holly!
Emma
Same. I really think Fabien and Lucinda will be in the book. They haven’t been in any books since book 7. Or maybe Coco and Sunny will come, or Princess Kiko. Sasha, Blade, Quincy, Ava and Sophie might be there too.
Jacqueline Harvey
You never know 🙂
samantha donnan
i already read Alice Miranda in …….. the latest book or number 17
it is really good
before i read it i had a feeling Alethea would be in a part of the book
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Samantha,
I’m glad that you enjoyed it. Alethea has grown up a lot lately and is far more likable than ever before :).
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Chloe suttor
If she is going with her school hopefully she gets into the music
Jacqueline Harvey
She’s going to have an interesting time that’s for sure!
Emma
I hope Caprice changes too.
Jacqueline Harvey
Me too!
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Tamara,
Alice-Miranda and her friends (including some old friends) travel to Scotland to be involved in a special event- as part of the Queens Colours.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Tamara K
That sounds great! I wonder if Caprice will want to be the best again, like in Alice-Miranda at Camp!
Jacqueline Harvey
I’m sure that Caprice will make her mark:).
Best wishes,
Javqueline
Georgia
I just finished reading Alice Miranda In The Alps (which is amazing!!!) and can’t wait for the latest book to come out so that I can add it to my collection. I have a feeling that Alethia will be back and that Caprice will turn over a new leaf. Maybe even some new friends or long lost relatives?
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Georgia,
I am so happy that you enjoyed AM in the Alps – it was such a fun story to write. There are now 17 books in the collection so you’ve got quite a few still to read as the Alps is number 12 in the series. Alethea and Caprice will definitely surprise you along the way. I’m writing number 18 at the moment and Caprice and Millie are having some problems!
Best wishes,
Jacqueline

School I think

Ashley
PLEASE!! Can you tell us where Alice Miranda lives this is my second letter and nobody has responded! It would make so much more sense if I knew. (I’m guessing it’s not Australia because they can drive to the palace of the queen)
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Ashley,
I have actually never specified which country Alice-Miranda lives in – although given there is a queen and there are lots of villages I guess in my mind it’s more England than anywhere else (although it could be Australia too if you wanted it to be). I wanted readers to make up their own minds.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Bella
I made up this place called Willow Island. It’s exactly like Alice-Mirandas home. Also, I have a weird feeling that Kiko from Alice-Miranda in Japan is going to be in this book. Am I right?
Thanks! 🙂
Jacqueline Harvey
Great name – I love Willow Island. Sorry – no Kiko in the next book. I thought about it but there are others I wanted there more.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline

Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Soomin,
Why will you never know? Don’t you want to read the book? I hope that you do get to read it. Some of your predictions might be right but there are lots of other surprises too.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Stacy
Hey! What month is Alice Miranda going in TV?
Jacqueline Harvey
No word yet – it’s still in development and these things unfortunately take a very long time.
Lucy
Is it anytime soon or have I missed it???
Thanks
Lucy
Jacqueline Harvey
This was a little while ago – but there are now 18 Alice-Miranda adventures for you to enjoy – and the animated movie coming in November 🙂
Grace
alethea probably is gonna come and is her father still in jail according to alice miranda shines bright?
if not maybe he is gonna do crime,but i am pretty sure alice mriand is gonna be on the case though
My 6 year old sister is a fan of alice miranda like i am but she can not read properly so ihave read for her.
i hope alice mirand is on tv soon(it sure would save me some time)
BTW :I wanna be a girls boarding school teacher just like Miss Harvey used too.
sorry this is so long
Jacqueline Harvey
Some interesting ideas there Grace – you never know :). I hope that you get to be a teacher like I was.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Kim
I’m so excited! I know I’m thirteen and a little too old for this but I can’t stop reading!
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Kim,
Never too old for Alice-Miranda! I hope you’ll keep reading her stories for a long time to come :).
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Beth L
Hey Kim, I’m 13 too and also looking forward to this next book.
I love your characters and the things that they get up to, Jacqueline. I promise i’ll keep reading them for ages.
Jacqueline Harvey
Thanks Beth – I really appreciate your support and very kind words.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
April Harries
Hi Beth,
I am 13 years old as well and can’t get enough of it! Neither can my younger sister
It’s gonna turn into a family tradition if we don’t watch out!!!
Jacqueline Harvey
Oh I hope that the books become a family tradition! Thanks for your kind words 🙂
kalea
same me and my sister both loooove them
Jacqueline Harvey
Thank Kalea 🙂
Kim
Out of curiosity, where does Alice Miranda actually live? I mean, I know she lives in Highton Hall and knows the Queen, and so most likely lives in England, but what state does she live in?
Thanks!
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Kim,
I’ve never actually said as I wanted readers to make up their own minds but I suppose I think mostly she lives in a country a lot like England.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Sophie W
I’m almost 13 too! A lot of girls at my school my age read Alice-Miranda too, so we’re not alone!
Jacqueline Harvey
And I can tell you girls, you are not my oldest fans by a long way. I love that readers are still enjoying the books well into their teens :).
Zoë
Hey guys,
You’re too right, Jacqueline. : )
I’m 14, almost 15, and you have no idea how much I’m looking forward to your new book! Really hoping to read “Kensy and Max” soon too!
Love you all, A-M fan family,
Zoë
Jacqueline Harvey
Thanks Zoe – hoe you enjoy the new books.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Grace
i am gonna read alice miranda even when i have granddoughters (but miss Harvey is probably gonna stop writing by then)
Panda
i think there is nothing wrong with liking alice miranda lol, im fifteen and still hoping for a tv show, and my taste in books is usually much more dark fantasy not cute childish fiction. yet this is still one of my favourite book series.
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Panda,
The Alice-Miranda movie is on its way! I love that you still enjoy the books and you’re not alone – I know plenty of teens who are still reading them – yay!
Jacqueline x
Lilly
My family comes from Scotland but we live in Australia.
Tamara K
That’s cool.
My parents come from a country in Europe called Serbia.
Caily
Hey, I also have family from scotland, but only a few.
Kim
I live in Australia as well, but my family came from Vietnam
Jacqueline Harvey
I would love to visit Vietnam – it’s on my list of places I really want to go.
Kalika Miliankos-King
I also live in Australia but my dads family is Greek and my mums is Scottish and English (although they are a few generations Australian
Sophie W
Oh my goodness! I’m half
Vietnamese and half Scottish and Irish! Cool!
Jacqueline Harvey
What a great cultural background and fabulous countries to visit too!
Caily
Wow! I can’t wait. Scotland sounds like a great place for an Alice-Miranda story.
Hope you can finish it in time!
I can’t believe how many stories there are now! I started reading them just after the 4th Alice Miranda was released!
Jacqueline Harvey
Yes there are lots of books – I really can’t believe that I’ve written that many :). It’s just as well I still adore Alice-Miranda and all her friends so while ever I love them I can’t see a reason to stop writing the books.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Kyla
I am a tiny bit Scottish. I was born in England,but I live in New Zealand.
I REALLY like the picture of Alice Miranda. Her dress looks STUNNING. I LOVE the background. (That’s because my favorite colour is blue ).
I was just reading an other comment and it said: What’s the next Alice Miranda book? (Well that’s what I think it says).
I’m super excited about the new Alice Miranda game!!!!!!!!
Kyla
I meant Alice Miranda book, not Alice Miranda game. I’ve properly put game instead of book.
So embarrassing!
Ashlyn
That’s fine!! Everyone makes mistakes!!
Kyla
Thanks,Ashlyn!
That was very sweet of you for saying that!
Beth L
Hi Kyla,
I live in New Zealand too and I hope that one day Alice Miranda will visit New Zealand in her books. Don’t worry about typos!
Jacqueline Harvey
I can see that happening (especially as I am building a new house in New Zealand and am planning to live there part time from the end of the year!
Kalika Miliankos-King
You are right It would be very cool if Alice Miranda visited New Zealand
Kanita
Hey Jacqueline
I have a question,
Why did you choose Scotland as a next adventure?
Why not some other place?
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Kanita,
I’ve travelled to Scotland a number of times and really love it. There’s lots of folklore and history and given it’s one of my favourite places I thought why not. I have a lot of Scottish friends and connections too – which means I can consult with them on the story when I need to.
I’m really enjoying writing the story – and who knows where she’ll go next.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
April Harries
I would really like it if you made Alice Miranda go to Ireland, ’cause I have some family over there.
Jacqueline Harvey
I would love to go to Ireland (and it’s one of my favourite accents so you never know!).
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Holly
Hi Jacqueline!
I can’t wait till the new Alice-Miranda book is released. It’s by far my favourite series of yours but I think Kensy and Max might grow on me too! I like your picture book ‘The Sound of the Sea’ too, it’s really sweet.
Also, when’s the new TV series going to start?
From Holly 🙂
P.S. I think my favourite characters might be Jacinta and Lucas.
Kim
Do you mean as a couple, or do you just like how they are?
Jacqueline Harvey
I’m not sure what she means but I love them too – as individuals and as a couple!
Holly
Both! They’re so sad in Alice-Miranda in Hollywood with Caprice in their love triangle but I think poor Lucas! He’s stuck in the middle of a girl fight over him and no one wants that.
Emma
ikr!
Tamara b
I think the to series starts in 2019
Emma
Same! I absolutely LOVE Jacinta. Plus I read a comment with Jacinta and Lucas: Together they’re Lucinta! It’s fab. Hey maybe when they grow up like adults they’ll name their daughter Lucinta! Like Lucinda. She’s great too. I loved it when she stood up to her dad. So brave. Felt bad for her after her punishment. btw loving the ‘lucinta’ thing. If only Caprice would stop annoying them.
P.S Jacqueline ( if ur reading this) ur books r the greatest ever!!! Won’t ever stop reading them. Even when I’m an adult. :3
Jacqueline Harvey
Thanks Emma – your comment makes me so happy!! I have had quite a few young adults at the movie screenings who have grown up reading Alice-Miranda. That’s a huge thrill for me.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Lilly
When does Alice Miranda in Scotland come out cause I want to have an
Alice Miranda party but I can not wait till my birthday.
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Lilly,
It will be out in June – providing I can meet all my crazy deadlines at the moment!
Kalika Miliankos-King
I hope you meet the dead lines
Jacqueline Harvey
Thank you! It’s been a very busy January and first week of February with lots more still to do 🙂
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Lilly,
AM Scotland is out in June this year.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Zoe
will your tv series be on netflix
Jacqueline Harvey
No, it’s going to be on 9GO (when we get the green light).
Taylah
Yay!! When’s it coming out??
grace
con the series be on youtube too
please
my favourite charecters are jacinta,lucas and alice miranda
no idea why so many errors
our family is from india but we live in australia
can alice miranda go to india sometime
sorry i am no good at spelling
Jacqueline Harvey
I’d love to take Alice-Miranda to India but I will have to go there first. I love to visit the places I set my stories.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Kyla
I think I’m going to England in June or July, you never know, I might even go to Scotland.
Kyla
OPPS! I meant April or June.
Jacqueline Harvey
Lucky girl! Yes definitely try to get to Scotland if you’re in England. It’s not that far 🙂
Kyla
We are going to England to see my Anty because she is dying, and Mum said we are going to do nothing too much. . But I still hope that I can go to Scotland.
Jacqueline Harvey
That’s very sad Kyla. I’m sorry to hear this. It’s important to spend time with your family.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Kyla
Thank you Jacqline!
Your very sweet and nice.
Emma
Awww. Feel so sorry for u.
best of luck! 🙂
Jacqueline Harvey
That’s kind Emma. Thank you. Clearly you and Alice-Miranda would get along well 🙂
Bella
That’s SO COOL!!! : D
I LOVE Alice mirander SO SO MUCH! Although I got a bit confused reading number 15, I decided it was a GREAT book! I like to read stories and books over and over again so I get what it’s saying. I’ve only read #15 once but it’s still COOL. I would LOVE to read about Kensy and Max, they sound fantastic.
My class thought that you’d have to be a nerd to read for pleasure but I disagreed and told every kid so. Even the teacher!
Now they are afraid not to pick up a book and read it! : D
At least they thank me for showing them the world of books!
Kim
Good for you! Nobody at my school reads 🙁
Kyla
That’s sad that nobody reads at your school.
Jacqueline Harvey
I agree! It makes me very sad to hear that kids aren’t reading but good for you, setting a great example!
Kalika Miliankos-King
I double agree
I love reading
Emma
Even at my school too. If they read they would be as smart as my bffs keira, sofie and i. we are above average pretty much every subject. And books r a completely different world. Pulls u out of reality and lets ur imagination run wild.
Jacqueline Harvey
Reading is so important. It sounds as if you and your friends all know that well – and it will make you much smarter and kinder and able to understand what other people are going through in life. And yes – it’s wonderful to use your imagination as well 🙂
Kyla
Same with me,Bella! I also found book 15 confusing, (that’s because it was my first Alice Miranda book.)
My friend,Zoe also likes to read books over and over again, just like you!.
Jacqueline Harvey
Perhaps Kyla it would be a good idea to go back to the beginning and then you’ll have a really good handle on who all the characters are (even though you don’t have to read them in order!).
Kyla
Well… I think I did read book 1 second.
Jacqueline Harvey
Well done to you Bella for getting everyone reading!
Bella
Thanks Jacqueline Harvey!
I’m really looking forward to Alice-Miranda in Scotland!
It will be on my reading list for sure!!!
-Bella:D
Jacqueline Harvey
Thanks Bella 🙂
grace
i did not read all alice miranda books even though i would love to because i can find only some
in the libraries near me and the buying is too expensive.
but i save up for alice miranda in hollywood and alice miranda in sea
Jacqueline Harvey
Hopefully you will be able to find more of the books in the libraries soon. If they don’t have them you can always ask the lovely librarians if they can add them to the collection – I know that sometimes works.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Taylah
Hi!! I absolutely can not wait for the next A-M!!
I was thinking about this the other night, and I though to myself, “well, an Alice-Miranda book normally comes out every February and September. But since Kenzie and Max are coming out, Jacqueline wont have enough time. Maybe it’ll come out in June? That’d be smart. ”
And I was right!!
I love Alice-Miranda!! I miss reading about her, and her friends!!
Tay❤
Btw, how old is Millie? Is she 12? And is Sloane 12? I’m quite confused, because in A-M #7 it says
“Millie walked between the 2 older girls” Or something along hose lines.
And I knew that Cinta is 13 (now) and that Millie is 12,so I Sloane like a few months older? I’m quite confused.
Btw sorry for this being so long!! I just havent been on here in ages, and I miss finding out about his stuff!!
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Taylah,
I couldn’t have done an Alice-Miranda at the same time I was doing Kensy and Max so you’re right about the change of scheduling. Millie and Sloane are roughly the same age – Sloane is a little older than Millie (almost 13 in the next book) and Jacinta is a year older.
Hope you’ve had a lovely holiday – I know you’re back at school this week in QLD. NSW have another week or so off.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Taylah
Thanks so much!! And yes, I have started school, high school 🙁
But I’ve made plenty more friends
Even though I had to leave some behind:(
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Taylah,
Hope you continue to enjoy high school!
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Bella
Is Jacinta’s birthday in the next book? 😀
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Bella,
No Jacinta’s birthday won’t be in Scotland!
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Kalika Miliankos-King
I’m confused about the ages too
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Kalika,
It was so lovely to meet you in person yesterday and thank you for coming all that way to meet me! I hope that you enjoyed yourself.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Yasmin
Can’t wait till this book is released! Sounds amazing!
Hope you could do a release gather up or something in Western Australia, that’ll be awesome!
Yasmin xx
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Yasmin,
I am coming to WA in March! More details soon. It won’t be for the release of AM Scotland but it will be for Kensy and Max.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Yasmin
OMG this is amazing news! Can’t wait!!
Yasmin xx
Miu
I love Alice Miranda sooo much I can’t wait until Alice Miranda in Scotland comes out.
I have a few questions though. Where does she live? Did Cecelia immigrate to the country they are living in now? because Highton’s on fifth is in NYC and she grew up in America and last which country is Aunty Gee monarch of?
Miu
P.S My fave character is Chessie.
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Miu,
Well I can’t easily answer some of those questions as I’ve never divulged where AM lives. It could be Australia or England or perhaps somewhere like England. I’ve always left it up to readers to work out for themselves. Cecelia comes from the same country as Hugh. Her parents owned Hightons stores all over the world. I love Chessie too and she’s having a good amount of air time in Scotland.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Avia
Like the lucinta fan I am, is there lucinta moments in am in Scotland? Sorry if it’s annoying to you
Jacqueline Harvey
Oh, some very special Lucinta moments coming up!!
Taylah
Eeeeeek!!!
Avia
They are a couple now!!!
I hope there aren’t any drama in the next book tho…
Or is there…?
Jacqueline Harvey
You’ll have to read it and see…
Amelia
Lucinta? as in Lucas and Jacinta there my favourite characters!!
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Amelia,
You will enjoy some pivotal moments in Alice-Miranda in Scotland:).
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Grace
Hi there
I am so excited it is coming out around my birthday!
How many AM books are you planning to have in the series?
And where are you having the book launch for AM in Scotland and Kensy and Max?
Grace
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Grace,
At this stage, I am contracted for 18 but I suspect we will be going to at least 20. If the fans keep reading them then I will definitely keep writing them (and I love AM and her friends too much to give them up).There will be various launches for Kensy and Max around the country. I will post details asap. Not sure about AM Scotland yet but I think that will be a fun dress up opportunity!
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Grace
That sounds awesome!
I hope you do quite a few more of them because I love them so so much!
Maybe to finish the series you could do a 20yrs in the future thing at the end of the last book
Grace
Katherine
Hi Jacqueline
Only 20!
I LOVE Alice-Miranda and all her friends and their Adventures! I Can imagine at least 30! after all you have left hints about new books everywhere! Lucinda coming! Coco coming! More Queens colors events! Sasha coming! But of course I know they can’t keep coming forever, after all before we know it Alice-Miranda will be a grumpy 16-year-old! At the moment I’m 13 and obsessed with reading! Swear to God; I read about 1 and a half 250page books in a day! (I read during Lunch and Recces!) I think I told you a while back in a different forum but one day I want to be an author and teacher one day, Just like you! Speaking of which; How do you become a “famous” author? I’ve written countless books long and short but how do you get them into the ‘Real’ World?
From Your #1 Fan,
Katherine
P.S I have a great idea for a AM book! Can I email it to you? If so whats your email?
Katherine
Also I’m looking forward to Miss Grimm’s Baby! Can you name her Katherine? Please?
You are a inspiration to all,
Katherine
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Katherine,
I have loads of ideas for more Alice-Miranda books so they’ll be coming for a while yet. That’s great you enjoy writing so much and you have a very clear ambition about what you want to do in life. I recommend that you enter as many writing competitions as you can so that will get your name out there and it gives you a foot in the door with publishers. I’m afraid I can’t disclose the name of Miss Grimm’s baby yet but soon!
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Katherine
Thanks! I did enter a short story contest with my best friend with a story called “Guffy The Cat” We didn’t win a prize but it was loads of fun creating it! I can’t wait to meet Miss Grimm’s Baby! One thing though will the baby be called ‘Something’ Grimm or ‘Something’ Grump? I know I’m being persistent but do have an email that you can give out to fans?
I know I probably seem a bit annoying but I really do have a great idea for a AM Book!
From your #1 Fan,
And Future Author,
Katherine
Minnie
I love your books so much! I’ve been reading them since the first one came out.
Here are some questions that I have, 1. Will Caprice finally become a better person? 2. Will Sasha & Blade come back in future books? Because I really want to see more future chemistry with Sasha and Millie. 3. Do you think Sep or Sloane will get a love life or some more character development?
That’s all thanks <3
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Minnie,
Argh – Caprice – she’s an ongoing issue isn’t she? In Scotland she hasn’t been playing nicely at all but I think she’s going to play a role in helping everyone at the end. Sasha gets a mention in Scotland as he and Millie have been exchanging letters, so you never know. Sep and Sloane’s love lives are a little on hold but they are very involved in the Scotland story.
Hope that answers your questions for now.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Minnie
Thank for answering! I freaked out a bit because I’m a huge fan of this series!! <33
I’m so excited when the new book realeases. I love all the characters and I relate to Jacinta a lot since I’m around the same age as her. Hopefully they’ll be some in stock in my area because I always race to get your books.
Tamara B
I’ve just read all the harry potters in 42 days while reading 13 other books
And 8 of those where Alice Miranda
My mum says I read book quickly and understand them well too since I’m only ten.
Jacqueline Harvey
Wow! You are like a SUPER READER! That’s fantastic. Well done!
Bella
Oh My Goodness!!! You could be a writer in the future! When I was ten I could read almost like that. Keep up the good work, Tamara!
When you get to be twelve(like me) you might have too much homework and no time to read. You would have to tell your teacher if that happens. : )
-Bella:D
Emily
Are you going to do an Alice Miranda in Australia?
Jacqueline Harvey
I think that may be on the horizon in the not too distant future.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Kalika Miliankos-King
Yay
Sivakami
Hi Jacqueline Harvey,
I’m a big fan and I aspire to be an author like you one day! I can’t wait to read about Alice Miranda’s adventures in Scotland and I am also very excited to watch the Alice Miranda TV show. I was wondering if I would be able to watch it in New Zealand and if so which channel?
I’m also eagerly waiting to read about the extraordinary mysteries that Kensy and Max face as I love mystery series some of my favourites being by Enid Blyton (One of my favourite authors besides from you and Roald Dahl).
Jacqueline Harvey
Thank you for your lovely words – I can’t wait until everyone can read Kensy and Max too! I’m sure that you will get to be able to watch Alice-Miranda in NZ – but I’m just not sure about the avenue for that at the moment. Fingers crossed I have some good new soon. It sounds like you and I have very similar taste in books as I adored Enid Blyton when I was a girl and I love Roald Dahl too.
Best wishes,

When will Alice-Miranda and her mob all come to Australia? Been waiting for this book for a while 🙂
Gemma
Ps. I can’t get enough of AM. I’m 14 going on 15 and have been obsessed since the first 3 books came out. And also being a Lucinta fan, are Lucas and Jacinta 13-14? And are there many lucinta moments in AM in Scotland?
I love your books and hope you keep writing for many years to come.

Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Gemma,
Thank you for your kind words and enthusiasm- it is great that you continue to enjoy the stories- I hear from many fans who are well into their high school years- it is important to read the books that you enjoy!
Lucas and Jacinta are 14 and, yes, there are some pivotal Lucinta moments in Alice-Miranda in Scotland:).
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Gemma,
I have certainly given much thought to Alice-Miranda and her friends travelling to Australia. There are so many amazing locations to choose from- you will just have to keep reading to find out, won’t you :).
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Minnie
Do you think one day they’ll be a movie on Alice Miranda one day? Or a set some sort of movie series? That would be so cool! 🙂
Minnie
As in a movie, I’m talking about a live action one. I’d love to watch it.
Taylah
There’s going to be a TV show
Darshana
Super cool! I agree Minnie! There should be a movie series for it! Should it be animation or real life? maybe animation!
Anastasia
I’m currently making a series on Alice-Miranda on holiday
Kalika Miliankos-King
That would be soooooo cool
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Minnie,
Alice-Miranda has been signed to be made into a television series- it’s super exciting, I know! But, it is also an ongoing process and, people who know about these things tell me, that getting a movie or television series to the screen takes time.
I will certainly update details on the blog when I am allowed to say more.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Darshana
I bet. Alice Miranda is going to Scotland. I love your books Jacqueline Harvey! Wonder if Caprice is up to no good. I can wait till the book comes out. Try making a book involving Alice Miranda and her friends going to Hawaii or Fiji! Going diving and snorkeling for the first time! Alice Miranda us so nice and cunning she is my best friend. I love reading Alice miranda stories. So far I’m up to reading Alice miranda Shines Bright. Mr Parker ( myrtles husband) was in coma for 3 years, and he’s gone missing with the nurse! This is a nail biting mystery which Alice Miranda and her friends try to solve. Jacinta is also super duper sad because of moving to another school and leaving her friends. She hardly talks to them. She tries to get in trouble so she doesn’t need to leave on her new school check out and gets to stay. Alice Miranda has 2 things to juggle at a time. Please replie back! Love your books! Stay Alice Miranda!
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Darshana,
Yes, Scotland it is! Thank you for your kind words and such interest in the stories. I’m currently in the throes of the structural edit for Alice-Miranda in Scotland. There is some interesting news on school changes and I can’t imagine Caprice not being involved in something:).
Thank you for your destination ideas – I’m sure that Alice-Miranda and her friends would love diving and snorkelling in such beautiful places.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Stacy
You should totally make a book about a horseriding show!
Jacqueline Harvey
That’s a good idea – I wish I was still riding 🙂
Anastasia
Is the book called AM and the lochness monster
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Anastasia,
The book is Alice-Miranda in Scotland– although, Nessie does make an appearance of sorts.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Mali
OMG!!! I love Alice-Miranda. I can’t wait for Alice-miranda in scotland to come out. I always sneek the light on at night to read her. I love the mysteries she solves and ALL AM’s friends. I am only ten and I can read her so well. I rate AM 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000/10!!!

I am currently searching all the local library’s near me to find the last two books that I haven’t read. Your books are really nice, they’re one of a kind.
PS when are tv shows coming out and what time?
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Jessica,
The television series is still in the process – watch this space! Hopefully, I will be in position to tell fans more in the next few months. Keep an eye on the blog, where I will post updates.
Best wishes,

Does Miss Grim take them to Scotland for a school excursion?
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Jessica,
The children travel to Scotland and are involved in a special event- revolving around The Queens Colours.
Best wishes,

Kalika Miliankos-King
I can’t wait for the next book, when does it come out? You you’re my favourite author. Soon can Alice-Miranda visit Australia or Greece? (Those are my 2 nationalities).
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Kalika,
Thank you for you kind words and enthusiasm! Alice-Miranda in Scotland is due for release in June. I can certainly see Alice-Miranda and her friends travelling to Australia, perhaps sooner than later:).
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Kalika Miliankos-King
Can you come to Wangaratta? I know tones of people that would love to see you.
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Kalika,
Thank you for your enthusiasm and interest. I don’t have plans at the moment to travel to regional Victoria; however, I would love to visit Wangaratta. Why not ask your Teacher/Librarian to make contact via my website https://jacquelineharvey.com.au/teachers/?
I look forward to meeting you somewhere soon.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Ashley
Where does Alice Miranda live?
Is it England? Is it Australia?
Hattie
Hi Jacqueline Harvey
WOW I think Scotland will be epic!!!
I do also honestly think that she should come to Australia next!!! :]
Bella
I agree with you. Alice-Miranda in Australia would be fun and entertaining.
Great idea!
-Bella:D
Jacqueline Harvey
Thanks Hattie!
I can certainly see Alice-Miranda and her friends travelling to Australia- perhaps in the near future!
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
noraa
I can’t wait!!!! When is it coming out?
Jacqueline Harvey
AM Scotland should be out on the 1st June as long as we get all the editing done in time!
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Noraa,
Alice-Miranda in Scotland is due for release in June 2018.
Best wishes,

Amalia
I really can’t wait for the new books to come out. How often do the newsletters come out?
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Amalia,
I write a newsletter every month – I try to get it out as close to the beginning of the month as possible (hopefully by the end of the first week) but it depends on my writing schedule as well. Hope you enjoy them.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Amalia,
The Newsletter come out each month. I try to make sure that readers receive them in the first week; but, there are times depending on writing and touring schedules, that they are a little later.
I hope that you enjoy reading them.
Best Wishes,
Jacqueline
Kenzie Dorsa
I’m looking forward to reading Alice-Maranda’s Journey to the beautiful Scotland. The adventure will be extreme Fun
Jacqueline Harvey
I have just finished the draft and am waiting to hear back from my editor – there is still lots of work to do but I hope that the story will be lots of fun.
Jacqueline Harvey
Thanks Kenzie,
The structural edit for Alice-Miranda in Scotland has just gone back to my editor, ahead of a 1 September release.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Kenzie
Actually I’m with you Hattie she most definitely should come to Australia, but as a Queenslander I think she should come to the magnificent State QLD!!!
Bella
Totes! Yep!!! Agree by far!!!
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Kenzie,
You will have to be patient, won’t you! Australia is blessed with so much beauty:).
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Bella
Hey Jacqueline Harvey,
I really love reading about Alice-Miranda and Clementine Rose! I hope that one day I will be a writer just like you! But maybe not as awesome…
I can NOT wait for Alice-Miranda in Scotland. If you know it’s publish date then could you please tell me? 🙂
I think Alice-Miranda would have such an amazing time in Australia. She could ride horses in the outback or go to the opera house in Sydney! Whatever Alice-Miranda does, it’s sure to be fun!
Thanks for all these splendid books. You are by far my favorite author!:D
-Bella 🙂
TamaraB
What date will Kensy and max be out.
Jacqueline Harvey
Officially releases on 26 February. It should be in the shops that week.
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Tamara,
The official release date is 26 February- but I have seen on social media that some book sellers have the books on the shelves now! It’s so exciting to see that fans will very soon get to share the story!
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Nicole
Hi there,
I was wondering why did the Alice- Miranda’s book cover was a lot diffrent then the one I saw in your blog here in Indonesia?
xoxo, Nicole
*P.S. Really love your book… You became one of my favourite author now since i read your book. Can’t believe i got in to your blog and saw lots of your fans’ nice comments and support.
Wish you all the best in AM Scotland 😀
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Nicole,
Do you live in Indonesia? Are you referring to the Alice-Miranda books that were translated into Bahasa? In different countries they sometimes change the covers – so that might be why you saw something different. I have the best fans – they are so supportive. I feel very lucky.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Miu
I can’t wait to see Miss Grimm’s baby. I wonder what her/his name will be. In Scotland is Miss Grimm going to go on the trip? Cause she is quite heavily pregnant. Either way I can wait to find out the babys name.
Jacqueline Harvey
I can’t wait to introduce you to Miss Grimm’s baby – you’ll have to stay tuned 🙂
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Miu,
It is so exciting for Ms Grimm, Mr Grump and all the friends waiting to meet this baby- but, I will have to keep you in suspense until Alice-Miranda in Scotland is released:).
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Lilly
Where did Alice Miranda get born?
Her dads from New York and I’m guessing her mums from England.
Will lucinta start dating and kiss officially in the next book.
I can’t wait for miss grims baby.
And why is she called miss grim shouldn’t she be Mrs grimm
Bella
Alice-Miranda is supposed to live wherever you want her to. Alice-Miranda’s mother was suppose to be born where where Hugh was born. Have you read book sixteen? You should! It’s awesome!!! The best!!!
P.S
Ms Grimm didn’t change her name when she got married so instead of Mrs or Miss, she has the title of Ms. : )
-Bella:)
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Lilly,
I have never said where Alice-Miranda or her parents were born. They were all born in the same country; but I prefer that readers use their imaginations.
There will be some pivotal moments in the Lucinta relationship during Alice-Miranda in Scotland; I can’t say more- you will have to be patient for the June release.
Yes, excitement is mounting for Ms Grimm and Mr Grump’s new baby:). Miss Grimm has simply changed her title to Ms.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Heena
Hi Mrs. Harvey,
I have been hooked into Alice-Miranda’s adventures ever science she started school. I am currently sixteen and have read the series at least 7 times! I have a proud collection of all her adventures but I was wondering whether she would ever get the chance to come to Wellington, New Zealand? Also, I think you’re an amazing writer and hope you never stop writing! especially Alice-Mirandas adventures!!
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Heena,
Thank you for your post and kind words. I am delighted that you are one of the many fans who continue to enjoy the stories well into their high school years. Interesting, I can certainly see Alice-Miranda and her friends travelling to New Zealand- especially as my husband and I are building a house near Queenstown and are planning to spend part of each year living there.
I plan to continue writing the Alice-Miranda stories, as long as I enjoy writing them. At the moment, I cannot see a time when I will stop.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline

hi miss Jacquline harvey
i really love your books. i know you are very busy with Alice Miranda in Scotland but could you make an Alice Miranda in India please.Thank you if you do.
Also will Alice Miranda become detective when she grows up or will she own the Highton smith empire.
Please answer back.
regards N
p.s Your books are the best
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Nandana,
Thank you for your post and kind words. You are correct, Alice-Miranda in Scotland has certainly kept me busy! The excitement around the release and celebrations for Kensy and Max’s ‘Breaking News’ is also making for a busy few months.
Thank you for your suggestion. India is such a beautiful country- so much history and culture, but, the ideas swirling around in my head for Alice-Miranda 18 are taking a different direction.
I’m not too sure where the grown up Alice-Miranda will end up- I’m just busy enjoying her now:)!
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Nandana Syamaprasad
Namaste Jacqueline Harvey
Thank you for answering my comment i was not too sure if you would.

From your most loyal fan N
from your loyal fan Nandana

I am pretty sure that Alice-Miranda in Scotland is being released in June.
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Nandana,
Alice-Miranda in Scotland will be released on 1 June 2018, although its been a really busy few months finalising it all. I hope the fans enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it:)!
Best wishes,

Maggie
Hello,
Just a couple of questions.
Will Alice-Miranda be doing Highland dancing and/or Scottish Country dancing when she is in Scotland? I do Highland dancing and have the Australian Championships over Easter.
When will the Alice-Miranda tv series be aired in Australia? I have really been enjoying the books and would love to have a tv series.
I was wondering if Clementine Rose and the wedding wobbles is the last book in the series? I would like it if it was not.
I have just finished the first book of Kensy and Max. I am not sure I am able to wait until September for the next book!
Thank you for your awesome books.
Jacqueline Harvey
One of my favourite scenes in the book involves Highland dancing. That’s fantastic about your dancing and all the best in the championships. I’m not sure about the Alice-Miranda television series but we will know more very soon. I am writing another two Clemmie books at least. I’m so glad that you enjoyed Kensy and Max – I’m working on book 2 again starting next week.
Thank you for your lovely message 🙂
Lemon
I’m your biggest fan Jacqueline and you are the best writer ever

I’m Cassidy and I love your books. I am in the middle of book number 14 Alice Miranda in China. I’ve read most of the collection and enjoyed every single one. I’d also like to say that you are an amazing writer. I’m a big fan on Lucas and Jacinta’s relationship.
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Cassidy,
Thank you for your enthusiasm and involvement in the stories. It is humbling, as a writer, when the amazing children who inspire me to write, tell me that they enjoy reading the stories as much as I enjoy writing them.
Thank you for taking the time to tell me!
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Cassidy
Hi Jacqueline
I’m Cassidy and am a big fan of your books. I’m recently in the middle of Alice-Miranda in China I’m loving the book so far. I have read most of the books in the series and have loved every one of them. I’m a big fan on Lucas and Jacinta. I love your books sooooo much that I can’t put them down. My friends say that I’m a book worm. ❤️
Jacqueline Harvey

There is nothing at all wrong with being a book worm and having a passion for reading!

zoe
Jacqueline Harvey
You’ll just have to read it and see Zoe but I think there are some super cute moments with Jacinta and Lucas in this book 🙂
Jacqueline Harvey
Yes!
Amy
Hi Jacqueline Harvey,
I found this website a few days ago!
My name is Amy and I am 10 years old. I started reading Alice-Miranda 2 years ago!
Can you make a book about Alice-Miranda in Singapore, or Malaysia? I’ve been there and it’s good. I live in Australia, Adelaide. I love Alice-Miranda my favourite one is probably Alice-Miranda in Japan, with “Yoshi” (Kiko), and the Japanese inn.
Amy
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Amy,
So glad that you enjoy reading the Alice-Miranda adventures- and very happy that you found the website. If you haven’t yet subscribed to my Newsletter and your parents are happy for you to, there are loads of fun, facts and competitions each month, with great prizes.

Beth C
Can I just say that I can’t WAIT for Alice Miranda #17!
Yeah I agree with you guys, I think Aleatha will be involved, and I think we can all guess that trouble maker Caprice will be in it causing trouble too.
I am wondering Jacqueline, Will Caprice ever turn into a ‘good’ character?
Also, when is the book most likely going to be released??
Can’t wait!
Oh and by the way, my family on my dad’s side is South African. My mum’s side is Aussie though.
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Beth,
Alice-Miranda in Scotland is due for release on 1 June- so not long now! I have just sent the final edits and page proofs back to my editor and the book will go to the printer next week.
Your instincts could be right- you will have to wait and see, won’t you :).
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Beth C
Oh and also, yeah I beat Jacinta and Lucas will have more ‘lovey dovey’ moments in book 17. It adds a romantic side to the book (I am not a fan of romance but Lucas and Jacinta are kinda cute)
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Beth,
Yes, there will be a few ‘moments’.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Beth C
And Jacqueline, Thankyou so much for writing the Alice Miranda series. It’s amazing!!!
Jacqueline Harvey
Thank you for your kind words, Beth!

Some quick questions
1. What is Lucinta is it lukas and Jacinta combined?
2. If you are doing a tv series with Alice Miranda will it be in Netflix ?
3. Do you know the book series warriors? Because it is a really good book
From N
Ps You are a really really good auther
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Nandana,
Yes some of the readers coined the name Lucinta meaning Lucas and Jacinta together. I think it’s pretty cute. The Alice-Miranda television show would be on Channel 9GO to start with. I don’t know that book series but I will check it out. Thanks for your kind words.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Beth C
And Jacqueline, you inspire me! I love writing and I have always admired your writing skills. You make books so interesting! Also, I can’t wait to read Kensy and Max. Its sounds soooooooo good!

Thanks
Jacqueline Harvey
Chessie will be there and Caprice is kind of better – she’s having her moments 🙂
Sarah
You should sometime make a book were AM has Christmas and Easter. That would be great and you could have something like somebody steals the Christmas presents.
Just wondering will Mrs Reedy have a baby?
Sarah
Does Sep like AM?
Oh and does AM like anyone.
I really wish AM and her friends were real people.
And i LLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEe your books.

You’ll just have to wait and see as there are some very cute little crushes in Alice-Miranda in Scotland 🙂 I wish AM was real too!
Jacqueline Harvey

Bella
Hi Jacqueline,
I have a few questions for you(but not too many because you’re probably busy with the books!).
Will all of Alice-Miranda’s friends be in Scotland with her?
How much romance will be in this book? I’m kind of interested.
Will there be any new characters in this book?
Thanks for all the amazing, splendid, fantastic books!!! It’s my dream to be an author like you! (And a chef or hotel manager! 🙂 )
-Bella
Jacqueline Harvey
Lots of AM’s friends will be in the story but not all of them by any means. There is some really cute romance – funny too I think. Yes there are new characters as well. All the best with your dreams to write and cook and manage!
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Amy
Is Madiegascar slewt millies cousin. And also will there be any lucinda
Jacqueline Harvey
Well – if I tell you all the secrets it will spoil the surprise. Yes Lucinda is going to be there but I’m going to leave Madagascar to shock you!
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Ella Brooks
Hey Jacqueline!
Are Jacinta and Lucas going to be in this book!
I’m almost 14 and I still love your books!
I also hope Lucinda and Ava and Quincy are in this book too!!
I absolutely cannot wait!
Best Wishes
Ella Brooks
Ella Brooks
Also, How many AM books are you planning to write?
Last question, Is there going to be AM in India?
I’m from India, but live in Australia, but I do like to look back to my culture, so I was wondering?
~Ella Brooks
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Ella,
At the moment I am signed up to do 20 Alice-Miranda books so another three after Scotland but who know – there could be more. I love the idea of heading to India but I would really want to visit there first.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Ella,
You are right about all of those characters! I hope you enjoy the new book.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Ella Brooks
Thank you!!
I know I will, it’s right when they say that your never too old for reading!!

Ella Brooks
Hi Jacqueline!!
I’m in the middle of reading Kensy and Max and I’m loving it so much!!
For Alice-Miranda in Scotland, does anyone like AM?
My favourite character is Millie, even though I’m almost 14, she really reflects me!!
I love your book a lot and I hope you keep writing them!!
Lots of Love
Ella B
Jacqueline Harvey
Thanks Ella – I’m so pleased that you’re loving Kensy and Max – that makes me really happy! I’m not sure what you mean about is there anyone who likes Alice-Miranda? There are lots of her friends on the trip so she’s happy about that but yes there might be some baddies too.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Ella Brooks
Oh by that I meant does anyone like her like Lucas likes Jacinta, I just read a preview of AM in Scotland and it’s great!! I’ve also put it on reserve at my local library and I can’t wait!! Thanks for great books!
All the best
Ella B
Jacqueline Harvey
Oh maybe 🙂 You’ll have to read it and see.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Caitlyn
I really love your stories and yesterday I saw that Alice-Miranda in Scotland had been released (on iBooks), it was great with so much suspense and I read the whole thing in a span of 2-3 hours? I’m extremely excited for more books, including Kensy and Max, and I don’t think I can ever get too old for these stories.
-Caitlyn, 10
Jacqueline Harvey
Caitlyn that’s awesome! You might be about the first person in Australia to read it I think. I’m so glad that you enjoyed it. I’m about to start the edit for Kensy and Max 2 right now!
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Charlotte
Just finished reading Alice-Miranda in Scotland! It’s AWESOME! I totally LOVE the Lucinta moments. So cute! Love the way Neville thinks about A-M. It’s ADORABLE!
I have some ideas for the next Alice-Miranda book. I think you should title it ‘Alice-Miranda in Love’. Then you can continue relationships like Lucinta, Millie & Sasha, Blade & Caprice, A-M & Neville. Maybe you could also start Sep & Sloane’s love lives. Maybe you could also make Miss Wall and Mr Pienaar get together too!
I think that A-M should go to Italy, Australia, Mexico, Hawaii, New Zealand, Canada, and maybe even Antarctica! That would be cool.
I think that Miss Reedy should have a baby, and if she does can you call him/her Heather or Timmy? You also need a new mean girl to get in the way of everyone’s love lives. Maybe you could have a platinum-blonde haired girl called Stella or Destiny? I think you should also have a mean boy called Darren, and maybe you can make him and Stella/Destiny get together! They would suit each other. I can’t wait for the TV series! What time will it be on?
Thanks,
Charlotte
P.S. My favourite characters are Lucinta, A-M, and Marcus & Imogen.
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Charlotte – you have so many great ideas – love them! I never know where things are heading next so you’ll just have to wait and see. I’m still not sure what’s happening with the television series – it’s so tricky and all depends on everything falling into place. Let’s cross our fingers!
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Charlotte
Oh, I just had an idea for a new book!
Drum roll…………….
‘Alice-Miranda in the Sky!’ it could be about a hot air balloon trip gone wrong!
Jacqueline Harvey
Cute – and scary 🙂
Elodie
Hi Jacqueline
I love AM so much even tho I’m nearly 12 and I can’t wait to see if there are any Lucinta moments! I kinda love romance
I just realised it is may 28 today! Can’t wait to read AM Scotland. Also can you do a AM in England? I know she kind of already lives there, maybe Australia or France (as in the south of France)
BTW my name is French so if you do one can you use my name? It’s fine if you don’t, honestly I’m cool
Soz if this is too long.
Thnx, Elodie
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Elodie,
I love your name – I used to teach a gorgeous girl called Elodie. There are so many more possibilities for Alice-Miranda and her friends aren’t there.
Best wishes,

Are you going to make any more Alice-Miranda books? my roblox name is alicemiranda4 lots of people use Alice-Miranda like thousands! do u play roblox if u do please friend me.
Bella
Hi Jacqueline,
I just finished reading Alice-Miranda in Scotland. It wasn’t just a GORGEOUS book but it was MAGNIFICENT which is a word that I hardly ever use to describe anything. 🙂
There is just no words that describe Alice-Miranda in Scotland!!! I loved the plot and how the characters are connected throughout the story.
At the beginning I was sad but end he end I was Esthetic!!!
But I was wondering how old Neville is and if he’s the same age as Alice-Miranda or maybe a year older.
SPOILER ALERT!!! If you don’t want to have a really important part possibly spoiled, do NOT read on! 🙂
Alice-Miranda and Neville would be really good together as they are both problem solvers and have a lot in common. I also wonder if Alice-Miranda feels the same way… But she did say that part about holding hands…
I should probably stop spoiling this… 🙂
Thank-you Jacqueline, you are my fav EVER author and I look up to you because I LOVE to write. Can’t wait for Alice-Miranda nineteen. And I really hope you make it! I Love Alice-Miranda and I think you are a fabulous roll model. 🙂

Jacqueline Harvey

Erin
Hi, my name is Erin and I’m thirteen. I was wondering how many Alice-Miranda books there will be. I love your writing and I can’t wait for the TV Show!
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Erin,
Currently I’m signed to write 20 Alice-Miranda books but there might well be more.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Mim
Can I reply twice to this?
Mim
Wow I can
Jacqueline Harvey
Yes 🙂
Jacqueline Harvey
Yes 🙂
Charlotte
I hope there are more than 20. I can’t bear the thought of A-M ending.
Jacqueline Harvey
Me either – so let’s cross our fingers that kids keep reading her stories and the publisher lets me write more.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Charlotte
Of course people will keep reading! How could they not?!
Jacqueline Harvey
Thanks Charlotte 🙂
Charlotte
You don’t have to worry about people not reading her stories. All of us will forever, plus i have 2 friends who do too.
Lola-marie your number 1 fan!

Beth
Hiya Miss Jacqueline!
My name is Bethany and even though I have grown up in Australia my dad’s family is from South Africa.
I have just read Alice Miranda in Scotland (I know! A little behind!) and it is great. How old are Jacinta and Lucas in book 17? Just because they are dating…… you know.
I have also read Breaking News – Kensy and Max, and it is great. Can’t wait for Book 2!!!!
Keep writing, because your books are amazing and you inspire young writers all the time. You normally give encouragements but I wanted to give you and encouragement.
Beth!
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Beth,
Lucas and Jacinta are around 14 now. They’re very cute!
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Miriam
After she goes to Scotland what is she going to door to to?
Jacqueline Harvey
I’m not sure – still thinking about that one.
Niamh
Where does Alice Miranda live?
And will you come to Toowoomba?
I’ve got a signed copy of Alice Miranda in Scotland and I got it at the Toowoomba grand central QBD. I think it’s my favourite book
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Niamh,
I’ve recently been to Toowoomba. I did a school event at Downlands and they invited all the other schools but apparently it was a really busy day and only a couple came along. I am hoping to be back there again next year. I am so pleased that you have enjoyed your AM book. I’ve never revealled exactly where AM lives in terms of the country as some children think it’s like the Southern Highlands of NSW and others think it’s England so I’m happy to let you make up your own mind.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Niamh
I’m entering a creative writing competition for a short story of 500 words and if you win you get an interview with an author and because I’m 11 if I win I get an interview with Tristan Bancks. Ages 9-10 get an interview with you?
Jacqueline Harvey
Yes that’s true Niamh. Good luck with your entry.
Mim
Can you fill me up on all the juicy gossip about Jacinta and Lucas.
They would make an adorable couple, the way Jacinta looks at him, the way he replies to her (tries not to be spotted by anyone) and of course and most of all the way Lucas looks after her. Please, mum is not letting me buy the books.
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Mim,
It sounds like you might have to try and borrow them from your library. There are some very cute Jacinta and Lucas moments in Scotland (and for Alice-Miranda and Neville too). May I ask why you’re not allowed to get the books?
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Charlotte
I can’t wait for the next Kensy & Max. I just finished reading the first one for the third time.
Charlotte
I’ve also been thinking of running a school. For reading, year 2 would read Clementine Rose, Year 3 would read Roald Dahl, Year 4 would read K & M, Year 5 would read A-M, and year 6 would read Harry Potter.
Jacqueline Harvey
I like your style Charlotte – what a cool school that would be!
Jacqueline Harvey
I will be reading the page proofs on the weekend – I’ve been editing this week and I LOVE it. I think it’s even better than the first book and is action packed from the start. Kensy and Max are in fine form and funny too. I hope that you’ll enjoy it.
Charlotte
It’s nearly ready!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????????????
Jacqueline Harvey
Yes nearly ready but won’t come out until September as it has to be printed and distributed.
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Mim,
The Blog isn’t really a chat but I do reply to the comments. I don’t always reply immediately though as I’m often busy working on other things.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Tara
Hi Jacqueline,
My friend Rebecca and I are both 14 and should have outgrown the Alice-Miranda Books ages ago, but we both LOVE them. We have both read Alice-Miranda in Scotland and loved it, we love everything about it especially all of the little Lucas and Jacinta moments.
Do you have any more Alice-Miranda book ideas or know for sure if you are releasing any more?
Do you have any new series coming out in the future?
We love all of your books and can’t wait for new ones to come out.
Thanks Tara & Rebecca
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Tara and Rebecca,
Thanks for your lovely message (I don’t think you’re ever too old for Alice-Miranda!). I will be writing another three books in the series (up to #20) at this stage. I have just released Kensy and Max: Breaking News which is a spy series (in March). The second book will be out in September. I’m printing the page proofs as I write this! Hope you get to meet those kids too.
Have a great day.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Aimee Ross

Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Aimee,

Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Kat
I just read Alice Miranda in Scotland! I have a feeling that their going to Norway some time to visit Alice Miranda’s Norwegian twin!!! Can’t wait for the next book!
Jacqueline Harvey
That’s a very cool idea Kat!
Kat
Thank you!!!☺️
Eliza
Hi Jacqueline,
What is the title of the 18th Alice-Miranda book?
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Eliza,
I’m not sure yet. I have some ideas but I’m not at the title stage.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Charlotte
Hi I have read this book it is awesome! No spoilers for everyone else tho
Hope Jacinta and Lucas keep it up even with Millie’s teasing and telling off!
Also how many more books do you reckon you are going to write
Regards, a very loyal fan Charlotte
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Charlotte,
I’ve signed on to do 20 Alice-Miranda books at the moment. I’m currently writing 2 Kensy and Max books a year to get that series established. I hope there will be even more!
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Charlotte
A possible title for the next book, Alice Miranda in the outback
Jacqueline Harvey
I like that one 🙂
Lola and Madi
Hi Jacqueline,
I love your books! Alice-Miranda is such an awesome character to read about. My best friend and I have started writing another book in the series, just for fun. It is called Alice-Miranda in New Zealand and features our favourite holiday spot, O’hope beach. It is an awesome beach with lots of sun and is the perfect place for boogie boarding! Maybe you could actually write about Alice-Miranda coming Aoteroa (The land of the long white cloud)?! Some other cool places in New Zealand are Wellington, Napier, Oakhune, Queenstown, Taupo and the Coramandel. Thank you so much for the exciting and heart-warming stories. Please keep writing forever!
From Lola and Madi (Wellingtonains)
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Lola and Madi (Wellingtonians),
I love NZ – so much so that I am building a new house there at the moment. It’s just outside Queenstown so I think an adventure in the land of the long white cloud sounds a great idea. I will live part time in New Zealand and part time in Australia. Kensy and Max will definitely go to NZ in their adventures.
Best wishes and thanks for your lovely words.
Jacqueline
samantha donnan
hi Jacqueline
is there going to be Alice Miranda 18
i absolutely adore the series and am working on reading every single Alice Miranda book
if there is a new book will there be some of the fayle boys in it and some maybe old friends, perhaps Aleathea’s Dad and in book 17 i just adored Jacinta and Lucas.
best writing wishes
Samantha
Jacqueline Harvey
Yes there is and it’s going to take place back at school and there are lots of mysterious things happening!
Sam
Dear Jacqueline,
I cannot thank you enough for your books, I have loved them since I received the first Alice-Miranda on my 9th birthday in 2010. I am very excited to say I just got a call from the bookshop where I work to say that Alice-Miranda 17 has arrived for me (much to the concern of my boss). After not studying for year 12 exams all week and instead reading both Kenzy and Max books and catching up on Alice-Miranda 15 and 16, this comes as another disastrous blow for my literature trial exam tomorrow as I will be occupied for the rest of the day, and not by Browning’s poetry. I cannot wait for number 18. You are never too old for these stories, thank you for that.
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Sam,
I have to say that your message is THE BEST! Thank you for loving my girl and all her quirky friends and adventures. I do hope that you can drag yourself away from all the fun of AM and Kensy and Max to do a bit of study on Browning’s poetry :). All the very best with your exams and I can’t tell you how much your message means to me.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline xx
Eliza
Dear Jacqueline,
Your books are the BEST I’ve ever read.
I love the Kensy and Max books and want to know when the 3rd book is coming out.
Regards,
Eliza
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Eliza,
You’re very kind. The next K&M is out 1 March next year. I’m still working on the final edits – loving it.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Aynai-El
Hi Jacqueline
I’m a fan of your books, and have read all of them. I think it would be cool if you did an Alice Miranda book in New Zealand (cause I live there) and think it would be interesting, and an Alice Miranda book in Israel (I’m from there. And my name is also Israeli) I think it would be cool and different, also I can see Mr Plumpton accidentally getting arrested by the tight security in Israel.
I also have a couple of questions.
.how old is neville
.can we have some Sasha and Millie moments in the next book
.and please can you make more Lucas and Jacinta interactions and romance in the next book, cause I feel they didn’t have as big roles in a.m in Scotland as they did in the earlier books when they weren’t a couple, but I like them together and want to read more about them.
. Will sep get a girlfriend, I can kinda see him and caprice together if she changes and becomes nice
Sincerely a fAn who hopes you write back
P.s sorry about the length
Jacqueline Harvey
Lots of great questions and some that I am still figuring out the answers to as well. I love Lucas and Jacinta and I think they will feature a lot in the next book. Sep with a girlfriend is a cute idea and Neville is about 13. Mr Plumpton getting arrested is an interesting thought – actually you’ve just given me an idea there!
Thanks for your lovely message.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Aynai-El
Also I think that them having a vacation in Hawaii or bora bora would be GREAT! And maybe they could meet up with Sasha and blade
Jacqueline Harvey
Good ideas! Perhaps Alice-Miranda might need to spend some time at school again though then have a fabulous adventure overseas.
Hannah
Hi Jacqueline,
I am so excited to see the AM TV show I bet it’s gonna be awesome,I have an idea for AM I don’t know if you will like or not but I think it would be cool if AM went to the jungle like Brazil.
When ever I read Alice Miranda she feels like a best friend thank you soooo much for making the best book series I have read apart from Harry potter.
Hope to see more Hannah #LOVE AM
Jacqueline Harvey
Thanks Hannah – you are very kind 🙂
Avia
When is book 18 of AM coming out? And for Lucinta, maybe you should make LUCAS jealous instead of Jacinta! And Jacinta would be like, huh?
Thx
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Avia,
I love that idea! Alice-Miranda Keeps the Beat came out last week. I hope you get to read it soon.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Lauren
I just finished reading Alice Miranda in Scotland and it was amazing!! It’s definitely one of your best AM books yet. I loved it all, especially the Luncinta moments!! I can’t wait for Alice Mirand Keeps The Beat to come out- I’ll definitely read it!!
From Lauren
Jacqueline Harvey
Thanks Lauren – promise there are more moments coming up 🙂
Laz
Love your books pls I would like to hear more from at school as most of the last books have not said much about the new baby addie
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Laz,
I am so happy you said that because the next book is set back at school and baby Aggie is in it!
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Laelah
Hello Jacqueline
I’ve read Alice-Miranda in Scotland already as you can see by the date, (it is 2019). And I’ve seen your new book; AM Keeps the Beat and I’m soooooo super excited for it to come out! Btw AM in Scotland is the BEST and I especially love Lucas and Jacinta because I’m really into romance novels and AM is my fav book which makes it even better. I’m looking forward for more Lucinta romance in AM Keeps the Beat PLS tell me there’s Lucinta romance! Anyway, sorry this is so long but PLEASE reply!!!
Thank you so much for
creating Alice-Miranda,
she is my BEST friend!
Laelah
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Laelah,
Thank you for your beautiful message. It makes me so happy to know how much you enjoy the books (as it takes a lot of effort to write them and it’s wonderful to see them appreciated the way they are). I adore Lucas and Jacinta too and there is plenty of them in the new book – I look forward to hearing what you think.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Samantha
Hi
I was wondering about Miss Grimms baby. There was a bit about it in one of the books but we haven’t really heard much more about it. I definitely think that Alethea will be back and I feel although she might get into trouble in some way and not take the blame or she didn’t do anything wrong. Could you please do a book of Alice-Miranda going to New Zealand (I am a Kiwi) and have her visit some well known places there. I had to move to Thailand from New Zealand and a book of Alice-Miranda going to Thailand and learning new things about the country would be a really fascinating story. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the books and I am doing a re-read of all of he books at the moment for the third time to refresh my memory before I get the next book. I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for some absolutely awesome books,
Samantha
Samantha
PS I haven’t been able to read AM in Scotland yet. My parents can’t get it for me.
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Samantha,
Maybe you could borrow it from the library or ask for it for Christmas which will be here before we know it. I hope that you get to read it soon.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Samantha,
Miss Grimm’s baby appears in Alice-Miranda Keeps the Beat (book 18). She is super cute and the girls adore her. Alethea makes a reappearance in AM in Scotland and she’s changed quite a bit. That’s exciting you are living in Thailand. It must be hot though – much hotter than NZ. We are in Queenstown at the moment staying in our house here for the summer. We love it. I adore that it’s not too hot most of the time as I have an aversion to humidity and heat. I’m so pleased that you enjoy the books – I hope you get to see the movie soon too.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline x
Iyla
I think it would be cool if a.m visited the middle east
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Lyla,
Yes, that would be very interesting. I have only ever passed through but I would love to spend some more time there!
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
jasmine
Hello Jacqueline!!!!!!
I’ve heard you’re putting together Alice-Miranda in the Outback. (super excited for it to come out) I was wondering if Lucinta comes along and there is more romance because I absolutely adore the couple and so does everyone else. But this would be a spoiler so don’t tell hehe.
Also I just watched the AM movie and it is amazingggg but what was different to the book was… why does Alethea look like Caprice so much? idk that was what was different BUT overall the movie was great.
Anyways I’ve texted too much and I will leave you to it hehe
Thank you SO much for your amazing books you are such a talented author
Jasmine
Jacqueline Harvey
Hello Jasmine,
Yes, Alice-Miranda in the Outback will be released in June. Lucas and Jacinta are both on the trip, so you’ll have to wait and see! I’m thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the movie 🙂
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Sherry
I already read Alice-Miranda 1-16 and Clementine Rose 1-11. Are you still writing Alice-Miranda in 2020?
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Sherry,
Yes, Alice-Miranda in the Outback has been released, AM 20 will be out June 2021 🙂
Happy reading,
Jacqueline
Lauren
Hi Jacqueline.
Is there going to be a new book out?
If so I am so going to save up.
I have the whole collection at home.
I absolutely love your books I cant stop reading them read all at least 3 times.
Please keep me updated I would love to know.
Love Lauren xx
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Lauren,
Yes, Alice-Miranda in the Outback (number 19) was released this month – I hope you enjoy it 🙂
Happy reading,
Jacqueline
Clair-de-Lune
Hullo Jacqueline,
I simply adore your books and I am thrilled that you also write the Kensy and Max series.
I was wondering how many more books you are planning to write in the Alice-Miranda and Kensy and Max series. I own all the Alice-Miranda and Kensy and Max books in both series so far, but it would be exquisite if there were more books.
Also, a suggestion is that they could visit Antarctica. It is most likely truly spectacular there, so I firmly believe that it would make a superb setting.
I just want to say thank you for writing the delightful books, and I aspire to be an author one day.
Thank you for your time.
– Clair-de-Lune
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Clair-de-Lune,
Thank you for your kind email! I’ve got a new Alice-Miranda (20) coming out June 2021, I have signed to write up to book number 10 for the Kensy and Max series and there are other new and exciting projects in the wind 🙂
Happy reading,
Jacqueline
Brittney
I LOVE the Alice Miranda book I have only just started reading them and I am hoping to read all of them quickly as the library at my next school doesn’t have the AM books
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Brittney,
Welcome to the world of Alice-Miranda, I hope you enjoy reading about all of her adventures once you can get your hands on the books! 🙂
Best wishes,
