Alice-Miranda Television Series!
Hi Everyone,
Thought you might like to see this news. It’s still a way off but so exciting that we can talk about it – just a little bit for now.
Jacqueline
SLR Productions adapts Australian children’s book Alice-Miranda for a TV series
SLR Productions partner with ZDF Enterprises to develop the Alice-Miranda series
SLR Productions has commenced development on Alice-Miranda, a best-selling and multi-award winning Australian children’s book series from popular author JacquelineHarvey and published by Penguin Random House.
SLR Productions, along with partner ZDF Enterprises, will develop the Alice-Miranda books into a 26 x half-hour animated drama-comedy television series which will be aimed at the 6- to 9-year-old audience, a demographic that has been extremely successful for the books both domestically and internationally. Australia’s Nine Network will be the local broadcaster.
The 14-part book series (and counting) has been a phenomenal success in Australia with 650,000 copies sold locally. Alice-Miranda has also achieved international acclaim with the books being published in over 80 countries including the UK, North America, Indonesia, Turkey and Brazil.
“We are absolutely thrilled to be developing this extraordinary book property into a 26 x half-hour animation series with our partner ZDF Enterprises and for the local broadcaster to be the Nine Network. This is the first time SLR has optioned a book property under the banner of the newly formed Penguin Random House and it is an honour to be working with the very talented Australian author Jacqueline Harvey and the publishing team. The Alice-Miranda TV series will focus on friendship, fun, mystery and intrigue – all the elements 6- to 9-year-olds love,” said SLR Productions’ CEO and executive producer Suzanne Ryan.
“I am so excited to be working with Suzanne and her incredibly talented team at SLR Productions. It’s a huge thrill to know that Alice-Miranda and her friends are destined to reach an even broader audience around the world via a television series that has the support of ZDF Enterprises,” said Harvey.

Hi Jacqueline,
Has the TV show come out yet? If so, where can I watch it? I’m so excited I’ve been reading Alice-Miranda since I was 8, now I’m 12 and still reading them! I just got number 17 and I love it.
Keep up the good work! Can’t wait for the TV series!

Hayley
Hi Mrs Harvey
An AM fan asked you what was going to happen between Lucas and Jacinta and you said that Jacinta wants to know if Lucas really does like her and Mille and Alice Miranda set her straight but I want to know if you mean they set her straight by saying yes he does or no he doesn’t.
Anyway I made a comment and you replied but you didn’t say anything about using my name in it. I am very proud that you got a TV series of it but what day is it coming out and is it going to be on ABC3.
I’m really really sorry if this is to much to ask
From your no.1 fan Hayley
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Hayley,
By ‘set her straight’ I mean that Jacinta is feeling a bit confused about things and the girls help her and Lucas to work things out. I can’t promise about using names in stories but you never know. Hayley is a lovely name so perhaps one day you might find it in a story. The television series won’t air until 2018 as it takes ages to make a show and it will be on channel 9. I will write more about it when I know more.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Maddy
What book did they do that in?
Miranda
Alice Miranda In China
Vienna Gillespie
Dear Jacqueline Harvey,
I love your Clementine Rose books and where do you get them from?
I have nearly have all your books I just need 6,10 and 11. I have only ever got them from my school “Somerset College ” . We have a thing called “Celebration of Literature ” and authors come and tell the students about there books and our school sells the authors books and you came this year.
Kind Regards your no.1 fan Vienna xxx☺

Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Vienna
The books are available at bookshops and also online, via booksellers such as Booktopia. I’m certain that you could borrow them from your local library too!
Best wishes

Kohana
Hi Miss Harvey,
It’s great news about the tv series.
I would just like to ask you something if it doesn’t bother you, but where on your website could I find the party invites because I am Alice Miranda’s No.1 fan and I want to give out Alice Miranda party invites.
Thanks,
From your No.1 fan Kohana

Hi Kohana,
The birthday invitations are on the Events Tab under Host an event – you can find links to them there. Have a wonderful party and please send me some photos – I’d love to see what you do.

Daphene
Dear Ms Harvey,
I am your number 1 fan! I read all your AM and CR books! I draw pictures of the covers…I even created a cover! iIt is…do not laugh at me…AM on a PHOTO SAFARI!!! Your books are at first shelf top left corner of my bookshelf, and my FAVourite books are ALWAYS on the top shelf. Have you read Cupcake Diaries by Coco Simon? the stories are fantastic but yours is still better!
Have you thought about ideas for the 16th book for AM? Maybe you could write AM visiting Lucinda, Quincy and Ava or vice versa or LUCINDA could transfer to AM’s school! (Since you have not written about Lucinda recently) You can also write that Lucinda falls in love with LUCAS and Lucas feels very uncomfortable around her and starts to hang out with Jacinta instead who have no idea what is going on. Lucinda then goes back to her normal self when AM told her that Jacinta and Lucas is somewhat like each other.
Here are some ideas for CR 12th book too! 🙂
There is a wedding with Clarrisa and Drew and they do not invite Sasha and her family when Will and CR told them what happened. They even told this to the principal! Then (since AM met CR in CR book5) AM and her friends and family visits CR and her friends and family, Sasha is extremely jealous and crashes their party but then AM scolded Sasha and brought CR and her friends and family to her house and gave them a tour and they became good friends!
When are you confirming the trip to Singapore? I can hardly wait!
The TV seris is going to be FFSG (FANTASTIC,FABULOUS,STUNNING,GORGEOUS) !!!! I can feel it! 🙂 CONGRATS!!!
Your Friend,
Daphene from Singapore
P.S.Did Caprice became good friends with AM and her friends?
P.P.S. Can you tell me more about the new series your writing?
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Daphene,
I love your idea for a story! It’t fantastic. I love that you enjoy the stories so much. That makes me very happy. I haven’t read the Cupcake Diaries but I will look out for them. That’s an interesting idea about Lucinda coming on exchange and a great possiblity. Your ideas for a wedding are great – and the wedding is definitely on the agenda. I think you mean Saskia don’t you (she wasn’t a very nice little girl was she?)
I am definitely coming to Singapore and I will be appearing at the Singapore Writers’ Festival in November and at at least one bookshop event at Kinokuniya (still getting the date arranged).
Caprice is still causing problems but she is better than she was.
The new series is still mostly in my head but I will be starting it soon.
Thank you for your kind words about the television series – I am looking forward to it too.
I am looking forward to seeing you in November!
Best wishes,
Jacqueline

Lilly
Hi Jacquline,
I am so excited I’m bursting!!! Now that I know this new news I have 3 questions for u: 1. Is the TV series going to be about the books u have written or are they new stories? 2. What channel is this tv show going to be on? And 3. Is this television series going to be animated or real life? Thank you and I can’t wait!!!
Lilly
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Lilly,
I am bursting a little, too! The series will be animated and will be based on the books that I have written. It will be shown on Channel 9.
Best wishes

Sairaa
I love your series extremely it’s absolutely amazing. I can’t wait for the TV seiries to come out. I am certainly looking forward to it. My favourite seiries is the Alice Miranda seiries, and i love how it’s so intriguing. I was just wondering, what are the names of Charlottes twins?
Your number 1 fan,
Sairaa!
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Sairaa
Thank you for such kind words- it is wonderful to receive such positive feedback from the readers. I trust that you will enjoy the animated series as much as you enjoy the books.
Lawrence and Charlotte’s twins are Imogen and Marcus.

Hi Jacqueline, I just wanted to tell you that I am going to be at the Abbottsleigh thing.

Emma
Dear Jacqueline Harvey,
I’m so happy and proud to be apart of the Alice-Miranda and Clemintine Rose community, especially after hearing of this great news! I honestly can’t believe that one of my favourite series is going to be made into a cartoon! However, if it is coming out in 2018, I’ll be reaching the end of my highschool journey, but who doesn’t love cartoons!
I’ve just finished reading your latest Clemintine Rose book (Clemintine Rose and the Paris Puzzle) and I’m already aching for the next one, including the next Alice-Miranda to. I absolutely adore the way all your characters develop and all have their own part in the story. Also, as the fangirl I am, I have to talk about Lucinta.. How cuter can those two get?! I can’t put it into good enough words, but their ‘relationship’ (ah! The struggles of having a crush..)always brightens my day whenever a moment, big or small, happens between them both. I’m totally hanging on for more moments in the next instalment to the Alice-Miranda series 🙂
I wish you well on your trip to Singapore, and I hope you have a wonderful time there to.
Also.. I’ve heard from the grapevine that your writing a new series! Well, I can definitly promise you that I will be buying it and I wish you good luck with writing it!
(Oh, before I leave, I wanted to ask if there was any way of sending in drawings, or fan art, featuring the your characters. As an aspiring artist, I’d love to show you my appreciation of the series)
I wish you the best,
Emma
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Emma
Thank you so much for such kind words and enthusiasm. It’s wonderful for me to hear that you are enjoying Clemmie and Alice-Miranda stories, even though your “high school journey” is reaching its end! I’m certain that some of the happenings in Alice-Miranda in China will not disappoint on the Jacinta/Lucas front!
You are correct, I am planning to write a new series- a thought that has been bubbling away in my mind for some time; but, a reality, which you should see in book stores towards the end of next year.
I would very much love to receive your fan art- please address it to PO Box 6291, Pymble NSW 2073.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Laura
I can’t wait for the series, it sounds amazing! When do you think the series will be out?
Best Wishes,
Laura
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Laura
Thank you- I’m a little bit excited too and can’t wait for the series release, either! It takes quite some time to actually make these animated shows, so I expect we will all have to wait till 2018. I will post more details on the website or as a blog post as soon as I know more.
Best wishes
Jacqueline
Hattie[Harriet]
Dear Jacqueline Harvey,

Anastasia
Hi Jacqueline,
Were you on Kids WB last week? My brother saw you and I missed it! Just saying I absolutely ADORE your books and have been reading them for 3 years and I probably have read every book twice! Can’t wait for the television series and Book 14!! For Book 15, could it be set in Greece? They could see the Acropolis, landmarks and eat delish Greek food! If so, You don’t have to if you already have thought of one! I love all your books and I’m from Sydney, so could you do a workshop or signing there soon! Thanks, Anastasia
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Anastasia,
Yes I was on Kids’ WB last weekend but you can go to their website and see it online now. I would love to set a book in Greece – that sounds amazing and my husband and I were talking the other day about maybe taking a trip there. I don’t think it will be #15 but who knows in the future.
I have done a few events around Sydney lately. Are you a member of my newsletter because that’s where you can find out when I’m doing events. I have a lot coming up in September too but in the meantime I have one in Wahroonga on the North Shore on Saturday 30 July at 1pm at a bookshop called Novella. We’re having a Crepe lunch for the celebration of Clementine Rose and the Paris Puzzle.
Hope to meet you somewhere soon.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Anastasia
Thanks Jacqueline!
Annamaria P
Hi Jacqueline,
I’m Annamaria and I’m a huge fan of the Alice Miranda series! I started it in year two and haven’t stopped reading it. At the moment I am in year 5 and Anastasia(she wrote a comment) Is in my class! We are really good friends and hardly ever stop talking about how good it is and when we will be able to read a new one!
I am not a girly girl, but my favourite book in the series is Alice Miranda at the Palace. It was really entertaining and I couldn’t put it down. I even snuck in reading late at night with a torch under my covers!
A few days ago Anastasia was telling me about her comment and how she thought you could make one in Greece; I would absolutely LOVE for that to happen. If you do do it, maybe you could include the Parthanon and on the front cover, Alice Miranda wearing a Greek Dancing outfit! It would be really cool!
I also wanted to let you know that I saw you on Kids WB and it was awesome. I watch it every weekend. Are you going on again any time soon? If you are, could you let me know?
I hope you are well,
Best Wishes,
Annamaria (:
PS: Will you be doing any book signing in Sydney anytime soon?
PPS: You are one of the best authors ever!
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Anamaria,
Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to tell me about your love for the stories. I must admit that, as a child, I also spent many hours under the covers, at night reading books by torchlight!
I can certainly picture Alice-Miranda and her friends travelling to Greece, absorbing some of the amazing history and watching the Crazy Greek Guard Walk!
I am hopeful of being invited back to Kids WB- it was so much fun and Lauren and Crawf (particularly) are just such characters- I truly never know what to expect other than a sore tummy from so much laughter:). I will put a blog post up when I will be appearing next!
I will be at Novella Bookshop in Wahroonga (on the north shore) this Saturday afternoon, 30 July, for a very special crepe lunch to celebrate the launch of Clementine Rose and the Paris Puzzle . Details are on the website. Not sure whether that is too far for you, but hope to see you somewhere sometime. Keep an eye on the Events tab of the website for details of other Events!

PS: I can’t believe I have the same name as Alice Miranda!
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi there,
Is your name really Alice-Miranda? That’s amazing! I’ve only ever met one other girl in the world whose name was Alice and her middle name was Miranda but she decided she would like to hyphenate it. She lived in Canberra.
I’m excited about the television series too.

Hi Jacqueline,
I’m Annamaria and I’m a HUGE fan of the Alice Miranda series!
My favourite characters are Lucas and Jacinta. I like them because they’re very funny lovebirds!
When you do a new book, could it be in Greece? If so, I have two ideas. Alice Miranda could visit the parthanon and on the front cover she could be wearing a Greek Dancing outfit!
You’re really cool!
Best Wishes,

Hi Ms Harvey,
My name is Kanya Arunkumar
I really love your books. My favourite characters are Alice Miranda, Jacinta and Lucas I can’t believe that there is going to be a TV show! Do you think you will visit Perth anytime soon? I would love to see you. If you do please visit my dads Indian restaurant outside the bell tower. You are sooooo AWESOME and so are your books!
From Kanya Arunkumar
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Kanya
Thank you for your kind words! I am just a little excited about the television series too- it’s been in the pipeline for a few years but to actually find out that the production company has moved into development is thrilling.
Would you believe, I was in Perth a few weeks ago for a private visit. I managed to meet loads of children at a bookstore visit in Busselton. I don’t have any plans to head out west again this year- in fact, I’m off to the UK, Hong Kong and Singapore at the end of September! I know that I will be touring in WA next year, so keep an eye on the website, where all event details will be posted.
Thank you, I would love to visit your family’s restaurant!
Best wishes

Dear Kanya

Holly
Hi Jacqueline,
I’ve got a lot of questions.
a, what’s the release date for the TV show,
b, can you make an all-episodes DVD and sell it in Australia and New Zealand so I can watch it,
c, I can’t wait to get AM14,
and d, I can’t wait to get AM15 next year
Thank you so much!!
From your No. 1 fan,
Holly xxoo
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Holly
The date for the release of the TV series is mid 2018. It will be shown on Channel 9 and, at this stage, there are no discussions about the series being made into DVDs. That’s not to say that it won’t happen, I just don’t know, if or when.
I can’t wait for the official Alice-Miranda in China launch, either. Did you know that we are having a fabulous Yum Cha lunch at Zilver in Sydney and a sumptuous High Tea in Queensland as part of the festivities? I can’t let myself get too excited as Alice-Miranda 15 needs to be in the hands of my publisher this week! I must finish and get to work….
Best wishes

Dakota
Dear Miss Harvey,
I am so excited for the T.V. show I think it is going to be awesome. I was just wondering when does the show premiere on television and what channel.
Thank you so much, I hope everything goes well and hope you reply soon.
I have read all of your books and now I am reading all of them from the beginning again. All your books are awesome so I know that the T.V. shows are going to be amazing
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Dakota,
The television series is still in the development phase so it’s a little while off yet but I believe we’re hoping for 2018 and it will be on Channel 9 in Australia.
Thanks for your kind words about the books.

U go to Costco too?!?! I tried finding Alice miranda in hollywood but I couldn’t! I did fine a whole Alice miranda pack but couldn’t buy it!
Jacqueline Harvey
I sometimes visit Costco if they have a new promotional pack. They only have the earlier books though.
Lara
Dear Jacqueline Harvey,
I am your biggest fan, I think you create the best books, I have read all your Alice Miranda and Clementine Rose series including the latest ones. I have been wondering when Lady Clarissa and Drew (Clementine Rose series) are getting married and when is the documentary of Penberthy House which Clementine stared in is releasing.
In Alice Miranda books, I wish you could create an adventure of Alice Miranda going to India and meeting Prince Shivaji in Jaipur (where I am from)
Best wishes from your number one fan lara
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Lara,
I’ll be writing about the wedding in Clementine Rose’s next adventure – and yes the documentary – well it should have been out before now but I think there’s been a delay so, hopefully soon :).
I’d love to set an Alice-Miranda book in India – you never know where she’ll head next.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Angela
Dear Jacqueline
My name is Angela and I am 11 years old (my birthday is 2 days before yours). I am soooo happy that Alice-Miranda is coming on TV! I love your books and I am also a big Lucinta fan. I also love clementine rose.

Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Angela,
Happy birthday for a couple of days ago. I hope it was a wonderful day! Thanks for your kind words – I’m really pleased about it too.

Lara
Dear Jacqueline,
Thank you so much for replying. I was wondering if you could tell me when you are coming to Sydney. I would love to meet you. I am 12 already but I still love your books and never leave them. I hope you keep on writing Alice Miranda and Clementine Rose series. One question is that is have you had any adventures that you write in Alice Miranda books as a child. I am doing a project on you.
from biggest and your number 1 fan Lara
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Lara,
Thank you for your kind words and the compliment of wanting to do a project on me! I actually live in Sydney and was born and brought up near Camden, which is on the outskirts of Sydney. When I was growing up, in a semi rural area, as it was back then, I had lots of time and freedom to explore, I had a love of horses and used to ride often, but, no, I did not have adventures like the ones that Alice-Miranda and her friends have in the stories.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Lara
another question is are you Australian?
I know you live in NSW but I need to do a project on a Australian Author.
Lara
shaelyn
Hi Shaelyn.
This show would be the latest craze once it is out everyone would be watching it

Matilda
Dear Jacqueline,
That is super exciting!!
What channel will it be showing on?
And do you know the date it will be released?
I’m so excited and I think you will be too!
Have a great day,
Matilda
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Matilda,
Yes, it’s soooo exciting! All things being equal, the series should be on your screens by late 2018 on Channel 9.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Lara
Dear Jacqueline Harvey,
Once again, thanks for responding. You are my favorite author in the whole world. I am waiting for Alice Miranda in China, it is going to come soon in the library. like you I love Enid Blyton and Roald Dhal books. I know how some characters like Lawrence Ridly, jacinta, Millie, Caprice etc. I know how they look because when it is a start to a chapter, a picture is shown. I wonder how aunt Charlotte, Cecelia, Hugh, Sep etc how they look. For the any Clementine Rose or Alice Miranda books, are you gonna make Clemme and Alice Miranda meet. I totally loved it when they met in Clementine Rose and the Sea Side escape.
Best wishes
From your biggest and number one fan Lara
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Lara,
You are too kind! It’s wonderful that you picture the characters- I think that it will be great when the animated series comes to the screens- we will be able to see what all the characters look like…in colour!
I have been thinking that Alice-Miranda should meet again soon :)!
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Connie
Hi Miss Harvey
I’m Connie
I love your books so much a hope you make more Alice mirandas
From one of your fans
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Connie,
Thanks for your kind words. I am certainly making more Alice-Miranda books. I’m actually working on Alice-Miranda Holds the Key right now. It will be out in February.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Matilda
Hi Jacqueline,
I am a massive fan and I have read all of your books at least twice.
Can you please tell me when Alice Miranda #15 will be coming out because I can’t wait to read it!
Also I’m from Melbourne and I would really like to see you so if you’re ever doing a book signing here please let me know.
By the way I think that in the next Clementine Rose book Drew and Clarissa should have their wedding.
I think that there should be a boy troublemaker like Caprice who goes to Fayle in the next Alice Miranda book.
Thanks, Matilda
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Matilda,
Alice-Miranda Holds the Key will be out in February although we are doing a series of huge events all around Australia at the end of January I think. There will be more information as we know what’s happening and the dates. I can tell you, they’re going to be such good fun. Melbourne is one of our destinations.
I like the idea of a boy troublemaker – let me think on that!
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
alicia
Dear Mrs Harvey,
You are my favourite author and your books are fantastic. Your books are so interesting i am in love with them. I love u a lot and i hope u write more books. I am still up to Alice Miranda at the palace and for Clementine Rose I am up to the Paris puzzle. I hope i meet u one day and together we will share the love of books!
Love,
Alicia
Reply soon and one more thing what is your phone number. i need it to call u and chat to u!!I love u
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Alicia,
Thanks for your kind words and I’m so glad that you love the books. I will definitely be writing lots more of both series. I’m afraid I can’t give out my phone number or I would spend all the time talking to people and I’d have no time to write :). My birthday is March 13. Hope you had a great birthday. The television show is still a little way off – TV takes a long time to get sorted. We’re hoping for 2018 on television.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
alicia
Hi, sorry i was not done i need to ask a few more questions.
When is your birthday, my one is tomorrow?
Where do u live.
What time does the TV show come?
and that ism all.

Bella Williams
Hi Jacqueline Harvey ,
I am soooooooooo excited about the new Alice-Miranda TV series and book No.15 coming out.
Just wonder when does the TV show come out in Australia and what channel would it be on???
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Bella,
At the moment the show is in the Development phase – we hope that it will soon have the ‘green light’ and if all goes well it should be on television in 2018. Channel 9 is the local broadcaster.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Sasha
Hi Jacqueline Harvey,
I am sooooooo excited for the Alice Miranda series to be on TV! When does Alice Miranda No. 15 come out and where is the location? I have got every single one of your books and have read them at least 100 times! You are the best author in the world!!! I would also like to ask if Alice Miranda, Millie and Jacinta ever see Fern, Tarquin, Liam and their buddies again? it would be cool if they did! When are Drew and Clarissa having their wedding? I hope Caprice becomes friends with Alice Miranda, Millie, Jacinta and Sloane because she doesn`t really have any friends yet, does she? Can you make Alice Miranda and Clementine Rose meet again? i have also been wondering how Cecelia, Hugh, Charlotte and the twins look! to me, Cecelia has a short brown bob and Charlotte has long curly brunette hair like Alice Miranda`s.
You are the best! Bye!!!
From Sasha, your biggest fan!
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Sasha,
I love all your questions! Alice-Miranda Holds the Key comes out 1 February 2017. The location starts at Alice-Miranda’s school then goes to Highton Hall. There is an accident and lots of other drama going on. You will finally get to see what Hugh and Cee look like as their pictures are in the book. There is a tiny appearance from Clementine Rose in the story (and Mrs Bottomley and Aunt Violet too). Drew and Clarissa are getting married in Clementine Rose and the Wedding Wobbles which will be out 1 April 2017. I loved writing that story and it seriously made me cry buckets at the end.
You truly are a superfan and some!
Thanks for your lovely message.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Sasha
Also do you live in Australia?
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Sasha,
Yes I do – in Sydney.

P.S.S. When is the December Newsletter coming out? I entered the competition!
P.S.S.S. Happy Christmas and New Year!
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Holly,
I’m still not sure about the television series – it’s in the development phase at the moment so we have to wait for Green Light and then I will know for sure. I love that you’ve read the books so many times – you probably know them better than I do! December newsletter has just gone out now. Happy Christmas to you too.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Holli

Hi Jacqueline,
I absolutely love your series and have read all of the Alice Miranda books at least twice. I’m a bit of a bookworm and absolutely adore books.
I am so excited about the TV series and can’t wait until it comes out, you must be ecstatic.
How many Alice Miranda books do you think you will write?
I hope that you never stop.
I can’t wait until book 16 comes out I’m super excited!
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Lucy,
Alice-Miranda will have at least 18 books but probably more. I hope you’ve managed to get hold of a copy of Alice-Miranda Holds the Key (Number 15) to read – it’s just come out. I’m going to start working on Number 16 really soon.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Anna
Dear Miss Harvey,
Is the Alice-Miranda Tv Show going to be with real people or cartoons?
Also have you done the car sting for the characters?
Thanks so much,
From Anna
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Anna,
It’s going to be animated so they will have voice actors.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Hannah
Hi Miss Harvey
I can’t wait to watch it. I love Alice Miranda and I’m nearly done reading the series…. I think.
Just a question, will it be word to word from the book or will it just be with the characters?
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Hannah,
The books usually get adapted to fit a lot into one episode but I think (having seen the pilot episode) that they will be fairly true to the stories.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Abigail

Thank you for your enthusiasm and for being such a great ambassador for the stories.

Hi Mrs Harvey,
I’m beyond speechless that AM is having her own show ! I was just wondering if there was any auditions held to become the voice actors I love love love AM ever so ever so much please email me k.ablat12@gmail.com to inform me of any auditions I would love to be the voice actress of Sloane she is my favourite character I’m sorry for being rude but she really is.
Thank you Mrs Harvey you have blessed my life with AM books !
Jacqueline Harvey
Thanks Karema.
I have responded to your email but, no further news on the Alice-Miranda TV series as yet! When I know more about it, I will certainly write a blog post for the website.
Best wishes and thank you for your enthusiasm,
Jacqueline
Charlotte
To Jacqueline Harvey,
I Love, Love, LOVE the Alice Miranda books and can’t wait to read more. I am also really looking forward to the TV show coming out. CONGRATULATIONS on having one of your very own books being made in to a TV show, you must be beyond excited!
Congratulations & Good Luck, Charlotte
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Charlotte,
Thank you for your post and enthusiasm about the stories.
The TV series is very exciting but a lesson in patience for us all. People who know about these things tell me that actually getting a show to the screens takes quite some time.
I’ll certainly write a blog post when I know more!
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Matilda
Hey, Jacqueline!
I love your books so much! I swear I have read them around 1000 times!
I’m so excited for Christmas as I’m hoping to get Alice Miranda in Hollywood and Clementine Rose and the Wedding Wobbles! I kind of feel guilty that I still haven’t read them.
I’m super excited for the Alice Miranda TV Series to come out.
I saw a comment from someone with the same (amazing) name as me while I was scrolling to the bottom, she said that maybe you could have a boy troublemaker (like Caprice) go to Fayle. I know that there is already Figgy and Rufus, but they’re just silly, they’re not intentionally mean. I think it could be a good idea to have someone mean arrive at Fayle. I hope you can explore this idea in future books.
Also, I love it when Clementine Rose meets Alice Miranda in the books and it’s really cool how you connected their worlds (like through Poppy and Jasper).
I also think that Jacinta and Lucas are an adorable couple and love their relationship in “Alice Miranda in China”. I really hope their relationship continues to grow.
Will Fern, Tarquin, Liam and the other carnival kids be in the books again? I hope they are. I hope Lucinda, Ava and Quincy are in the books again too (I know that Lucinda’s family is in “Alice Miranda in Paris’ but I would still love to see Ava and Quincy again and just because Lucinda has already appeared twice, doesn’t mean she can’t appear again as she is one of my favourite characters). I also hope that Ed can have children so that Alice Miranda can have another cousin, speaking of which, could you please have the twins feature more in future books as they are super cute and i love them?
I would love to know who your favourite character is (mine is Millie) and if you’re currently writing more Alice Miranda and Clementine Rose books? I would also like to know if you plan on starting another series (if so I hope you can connect it to the other series).
Last question; Will Caprice finally become friends with Alice Miranda, Millie, Jacinta, Sloane, Sep and Lucas? I would like her to make some friends but I’m not too sure if Millie will be willing to forgive her…
Thanks, Your Biggest Fan, Matilda!
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Matilda,
Thank you for your wonderful feedback. I love knowing what readers really enjoy and you’ve been so specific – it’s fabulous. I do love the idea of a boy trouble maker at Fayle – that could be lots of fun and yes it’s great when Alice-Miranda and Clemmie get together.
Funny that you mention about wanting lots of the other kids to reappear as I have a BIG idea about that for the next book – you’ll just have to keep reading to find out what I’ve planned.
I don’t actually have a favourite character – there are so many to love.
The twins feature a lot in Hollywood so I hope that you’ll enjoy that story. Caprice improves a lot too – you’ll be interested to see how the kids get to be in the movie in the first place.
Thanks again for your wonderful post – I loved it!
Best wishes,
Jacqueline.
PS You need to check out the trailer for my new series, Kensy and Max (but no they aren’t going to meet Alice-Miranda and Clemmie – they will have a whole new world of their own!).
Avia
Hello I am such a fan of u!! My fav characters are Lucas and Jacinta! It’s an obvious reason why! I love them and one question
On a scale of one to ten, how do u rate the lucinta romance in Alice Miranda in Hollywood?
No.1 ur and lucinta fan
Avia
Jacqueline Harvey
Oh I love it! I’d say it’s about an 8.
Ashlyn
Never mind it is there!!
Avia
In the television series, will there be lucinta moments? I really hope soooo!
I haven’t read Alice miranda in Hollywood but I’m getting for Christmas but I hope the bit where Lucas says that Jacinta is his angel and, the time when Lucas kiss Jacinta on her rosy cheek
Jacqueline Harvey
Those moments are super cute! I’m not sure exactly what will be included but I’d love to see Lucinta interactions in the television series.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Avia
Oops I forgot to add that those moments especially be on the show and I did a mistake. I meant I’m getting it for Christmas sorry
Ashlyn
Hi there! Will the tv series be on netflix? Also I have collected all the books and can’t wait for more to come out! Keep up the brilliant work!!!
Jacqueline Harvey
As far as I know it will be on 9Go (if we ever get this last bit of funding!). Fingers crossed that 2018 is our year 🙂
Sabrina
Dear Jacqueline,
I love reading the Alice Miranda series and I’ve heard that you are good friends with Rachel Spratt the author of the Friday Barnes series. I keep trying to get a message across to her but I never seem to be able to do you think you could ask her for if there is going to be a movie for her series and if she can explain what happened after the final book because I got really upset when it ended. Please don’t say that Alice Miranda in Hollywood is the last book!
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Sabrina,
I’ll definitely ask Rachel about the series next time I see her. You will be happy to hear that she’s working on a new series called The Pesky Kids and that will come out in August this year. I think it will be super funny. I am currently working on the next Alice-Miranda book (and will be revealing where it’s set very soon). It will be out in June.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Hannah
Dear Ms Harvey
My name is Hannah and I love Alice Miranda and Clementine Rose since they are both the most beautiful books I have ever read. I am very happy about the T.V series. Also, I have an idea for a story:
Winchesterfeild and Fayle have a week of helping the community for money to help Ms Grimm and Professor Winterbottom raise money for Caledonia Manor but someone is sneaking the students money from them and something odd is happening to Caledonia Manor. Things are going missing, but returning with odd notes. And the new girl, Aurelia Danisc, seams to like bugging Jacinta around Lucas and it seems like she likes Lucas as well. But Sloane and Sep know nearly everything about her and Aurelia knows quite a bit about them as well.
Solution to Problem:
Aurelia comes riding with Millie and Alice Miranda to Caledonia Manor and she secretly takes items and sticks notes on them and brings them back next time they come. She is threatening Sloane and Sep( they are cousins) to take the money from all the other students so she can make her mum enough money for her mum to buy the schools so she can work in a business and the notes in Caledonia Manor were telling Henrietta and Hephzibah that Ms Danisc is soon going to buy it as well. But when Millie, Jacinta and Alice Miranda catch Sloane and Sep they tell the truth and they tell Ms Grimm and Aurelia is told to leave the school but she is given 1 chance.
Thats my story and I hope you like it and one day make a book out of it.
best wishes with the T.V show,
Hannah
Ashlyn
Hi Jacqueline,
What date will the first episode be out? Also if you know what time in Perth WA time would it be on? I really hope it isn’t on during school!!!!!! I can’t wait for the next book!!!
Daisy
Hi Mrs. Harvey!
I was wondering are you still casting for the voice of Alice-Miranda?
If you are, I was wondering if I could audition for the voice of Alice-Miranda. (Maybe?)
I have an awesome idea for her voice.
Plus , I love the Alice-Miranda books I have 1 to 10.
I can’t wait for the series to come out!
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Daisy,
The production is still waiting for the green light – fingers crossed that happens soon and I will post information as soon as I know.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Scarlett Nicas
Hi Miss Harvey,
Your books are amazing! Thank You for writing great books. My favourite character is Jacinta and I quite like Millie as well. I love the Lucinta romance and was hoping you could add more of it in your latest AM book, If there’s going to be one. I’m waiting for the next book and am wondering where the next book will be set? Have a great 2018 and I hope you keep writing more AM books!!!
Best Wishes
Scarlett Nicas

Hi Scarlett,
I am currently writing Alice-Miranda in Scotland and yes there are some lovely Lucinta moments. Hope you have a great year too.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Ashlyn
Hey Jacqueline,
I know how Daisy wanted to audition for Alice- Miranda’s voice, and I would too! Although, if there is a chance to audition would I have to be elsewhere in Australia? Because I am in Perth and probably can’t afford to fly somewhere 🙁
Can’t wait for the tv series!!!
~ Ashlyn
Ashlyn
also pls reply cause i rlly need to know that if there is a chance to audition i might be able to afford it 🙂
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Ashlyn,
I am hopeful to have some updates on the television series very soon! We have all had to be so patient; but there are no details on auditions yet. People who know about these things tell me that it takes a long time to actually get a television series or movie to the screens.
I’ll make sure I write a blog post as soon as I have more details :).
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Ashlyn
Dear Jacqueline,
Are you really going to be touring WA????? It is like a HUGE dream of mine to meet you!! My mum says that I might be able to go to the book launch! I can’t wait to start reading the Kensey and Max series ( though I also can’t wait for the next Alice-Miranda book). Another thing. When will more information be posted for when you come to WA? Please reply as soon as possible because it is sooooooo exciting when a famous author replies to your comment!!!!
Love,
Ashlyn
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Ashlyn,
Yes, I am coming to WA. At the moment we are waiting to finalise the details but, I will certainly update the Events tab on the website as soon as I am able.

Hi Jacqueline,
If there is any chance of auditioning for any of the voices in the tv series could you let me know?? I can’t wait to meet you!!!!

The television series is still in the ‘development’ phase. Hopefully we will have the greenlight very soon. I’ll let you know any exciting news as soon as I know it.
Best wishes,

Anabel
So… I only read one book, does that mean I’m not a fan? You’re decision! I’d LOVE to read more books but I don’t have time. What should I do?
Jacqueline Harvey
Hi Anabel,
Of course I consider you a fan. Hopefully you might be able to find some more time to read other books – but I understand better than most people what it’s like to be busy. Perhaps you could try borrowing a book from your library?
Best wishes,
Jacqueline
Lily
Hi Ms Harvey,
Congratulations! I can’t wait for the series to start. Which month is it exactly? And what time and channel would it be in Perth, Australia? By the way, I looove your books, I can never put it down. Are you planning to do more AM books? Where is it going to be? I can’t wait to read your next AM book and watch it on TV.
Best wishes form your biggest fan,
Lily

Hi Lily,
We’re still waiting on more details I’m afraid. Television is tricky and can take ages to sort out. Yes I am planning to write more Alice-Miranda books after the release of Alice-Miranda in Scotland at the end of this month. There will be at least three more after that.
Best wishes and thanks for being a wonderful fan,
Jacqueline
Lily
Thank you anyway. I can’t wait to read Alice Miranda in Scotland! And I was wondering how you thought of Alice Miranda’s and Millie’s last name, like its sooooo long. XD
Good luck on the TV series,
Lily
Jacqueline Harvey

Hi Jacqueline!
Is it a live series or an animated show? Did the auditions already end (probably yes…so sad…I want(ed) to audition…) Could I please be part of it? (I am REAAAAAAAALLY desperate!) I can sing and I can voice characters (my mum has this app where you can do that and I really love it!) and I can also act! Please, could I be part of it and did the auditions end and is it live or animated and…
I am quite the champion talker, like Alice-Miranda!
Best of wishes,
Mandy

Kate
OMG! I have seen the movie and it’s great! You should make more to cover the rest of the books. I have all 20 of them and love reading them. I started reading them when I was 7 and I am now 14 and still love them.
Jacqueline Harvey
Thanks Kate. We were very hopeful for a third movie but unfortunately the government changed some rules and Australian television is more difficult now. Hopefully that changes again one day soon.
