Kids WB – watch all the action from my interview and ‘how not to do high tea’ right here!

July 3, 2015 by Jacqueline Harvey 121 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Well, the segments have aired and I have now added the clips on the links below – ENJOY!

I had a ball filming at the Channel 9 studios in Melbourne with Crawf and Lauren – they are both fantastic – although Crawf was a bit of a handful when we had our afternoon tea! Here are some photos from the day we recorded – a little bit messy hey! Here are the links to the clips Interview with Lauren and Crawf and How not to do High Tea!

      Hi Denae,

      Thanks for writing. My week has been busy! What about yours? My illustrator is a wonderful woman called Anne Yi – she’s terribly clever. Hope you’re having a great holiday. I’m not on holidays at the moment but I’m going to have a week off in Scotland later in the year and a trip to China too. It will be a mix of work and play.

      Best wishes,
      Jacqueline

      Hi Kaylin,

      Perhaps you can borrow the ones you don’t have from the library or ask for them for presents for your birthday or Christmas. I loved getting books as presents (and still do!). Have a great weekend.

        I don’t have all the Alice-miranda and clementine rose either , but they do have them in libraries. That’s actually how i found Alice-miranda I loved it so much i save up all my pocket money to get them and i aslo get them as presents as well.
        My mum loves how i read them and she thinks bonaparte is funny and cute!

          I’m so glad that you enjoy the books.
          Did you know, some of the characteristics of Bonaparte came from my own horse I owed years ago called ‘Moo Moo’. She terribly naughty, ate everything in sight and could escape from any yard or box.
          Thanks for your message.

    Hi Mrs Harvey
    I love your books! And I absolutely cant wait until number #12
    comes out! I have read almost every book of Alice-Miranda.
    And I loved every bit of the ones that I read!
    If its alright can I ask you some questions?
    (I’m going to ask you some questions and if you don’t want to answer them you don’t have to.)
    (#1) which Alice-Miranda book is your favourite?
    (#2) who is your favourite character?
    (#3) What is your favourite colour?
    Thanks heaps can’t wait until you reply!

      Dear Roseale,

      I don’t have a favourite book or a favourite character. There are just too many to love and in terms of the books I’d be really disappointed in myself if I thought that I wasn’t always improving and doing my best work. My favourite colours are blue and pink, although I like lots of colours too.

      Have a great holiday – hope you’re doing something fun (like lots of reading!).

      Best wishes,
      Jacqueline

    Hi Jacqueline
    I’m up to date with the Alice-Miranda series and just had a few questions about it.
    Firstly what country does Alice-Miranda live in? I thought it was Australia but when it said queen Georgina ruled the country i wasn’t sure.
    Secondly, I live in Australia and your an Australian author so why in book 11 does it say gaol not jail. Just wondering
    I love your work and never want you to stop writing.
    Lots of love

        I think Alice Miranda lives in England heres some reasons why-

        1. Queen Georgina, everyone knows that queens live in England!!!

        2. It says in Alice Miranda in paris that they went to paris and in bus/car it takes a little more than 6hr while England is a day away by plan from Australia

        3. Boarding schools in England are very common while in Australia a boarding school pops up once in a blue moon!

        4. Some of the phrases/words such as mummy or oh my goodness is something that i (as living in Aussie) would probably be the only one to say these things, whereas in England, this is fairly likely.

          Hi Grace,

          You’re right about having a queen in England but did you know that Queen Elizabeth is our queen too πŸ™‚ That’s right about Paris being much closer to England. There are quite a few boarding schools in Australia but you’re also right that there are a lot more in the UK. That said, I’ve taught in 2 boarding schools in New South Wales and one of them is a lot like Alice-Miranda’s school. I think the language is probably a bit more English too.

          I’m very happy for you to make up your own mind.

          Best wishes,
          Jacqueline

I’ll also be at Berkelouw’s in Leichhardt on Thursday at 3pm. I’m not sure where things are up to with the television show but I will let you know if I hear anything.

      July 5, 2015 at 7:17 pm

      Hi Samantha,

      I think Zoe answered your question too about which country Alice-Miranda is set in. I’m happy to let readers decide as I’ve never said that it’s Australia or England and although most kids tend to think it’s England, there are many who think it could be Australia too. You choose!

      Your second question about the spelling of gaol is an interesting one. That spelling is actually the Australian and English spelling of the word where jail is the American spelling of the word. So that’s why it’s spelt that way. It’s interesting that in Australia we do tend to accept many more Americanisations of spelling these days than when I was at school. It’s not the other way around though – when my books have been published in America they change all the spelling to the American spellings.

      Hope you’re having a wonderful holiday and thank you for your beautiful words of encouragement. I never want to stop writing either!

      Best wishes,
      Jacqueline

          When we first meet Alice-Miranda, she’s 7 and a quarter but she gradually gets older and all her friends are quite a bit older than her (like 10 and 11). She doesn’t age very quickly.

    I had a great time today at your meet and greet in Hornsby Berkelou Books it was a blast and my friend Alice was quite excited to meet you. I was wondering about the Alice Miranda show you were talking about, I wondering how Alice Miranda, Jacinta, Sloane, Millie and all the other characters will be chosen? I would love to audition for it.
    P.S I loved the new Clementine Rose book and cant wait for the next Alice Miranda and Clementine Rose book as well as the journal. I hope you liked my little creation

We’ve been tossing around ideas for the title for the next Clementine Rose Book last week and I think we have something. Watch this space! I’m still a bit in the dark about the television show but if I have any news I will post it as soon as I get it. Have a great week back at school.

    Me and my friend just sit on the couch all day and read your books because we absolutely adore the series you have wrote!
    Will Caprice return in Alice Miranda in the Alps? Have you considered making visits to NZ?
    Thank you for your time!

    Hi Jacqueline,
    I love your Alice-Miranda books! I have just finished Alice-Miranda at the palace its great! I can’t wait for the next one, I’ve read all of them so far!
    When I grow up I’d like to be an author, and you are such an inspiration to me, thank you.
    If you need a name to use in the next book feel free to use mine! Its Carissa, nickname Crissy. πŸ™‚
    Thanks!

      Hi Crissy,

      Thanks for your lovely comments. I’m so thrilled that you’re enjoying the books. I love your name Carissa. Clementine Rose’s mother is Lady Clarissa which is pretty close to your name. You never know who Alice-Miranda might meet in the future.

      Best wishes,
      Jacqueline

    Hi Ms Harvey,

    I noticed a mistake when I read Alice-Miranda at Camp. In Alice Miranda takes the lead Millie gets dessert on her head but in Alice Miranda at Camp it says that Sloane gets dessert on her head. Is it a mistake?
    Anyway I am really looking forward to reading Alice Miranda in the Alps. It sounds like a really good book!

    Hi Jacqueline,

    Catherine here, what a funny day you must have had with Lauren and Shane. Shane was needs to get his manners straight. I really loved Clementine and the Birthday Emergency, it was awesome i really felt sad for Clementine when Lavender was sick and when she had bad tummy pain. I wish i was there to give her a hug.

    Questions:

    Are you going to make a boy version of Alice-Miranda or Clementine Rose?

    My friends and I were just wondering if Alice-Miranda is still 7 or if she like 11 or 12 years old?

    From Catherine, Alice-Miranda and Jacqueline Harvey’s BIGGEST NUMBER ONE FAN IN THE WHOLE ENTIRE WORLD!

    P.S. Love your story in the Stories for Girls!

      Hi Catherine,

      Lauren and Shane were great and Shane is hilarious (I imagine he would have been a bit cheeky at school!). I’m so thrilled that you enjoyed the new book – I loved writing it.

      Interesting that you ask about a boy version of the books – I’m not sure but I would like to do something more with the boys.

      Alice-Miranda is now almost 9 but her friends are 11, 12 and 13.

      Thanks for letting me know about the story in Stories for Girls too.

      Best wishes,
      Jacqueline

      I am thrilled that you’re enjoying Clemmie’s adventures. I love writing her stories and I wish there was another adventure before the end of the year but I am busy writing an Alice-Miranda book at the moment. You must be adorable if you look like Clemmie (and I’m sure that you’re a good helper, just like she is!).

    Q 1: How did you get into writing books?
    Q 2: What is your favourite flavour ice-cream?
    Q 3: Where have you travelled in the world?
    Q 4: have you been to space?

      Hi Anonymous Eliza,

      In answer to your questions:

      1. I got into writing books because I always loved to tell stories and I was a teacher who used to write a lot for my classes.
      2. My favourite ice cream flavour is probably a tie between macadamia but and I also love lemon sorbet and passionfruit sorbet.
      3. I have travelled to: New Zealand, Fiji, Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, North America, England, Scotland, France, Italy, Germany, Austria, Switzerland
      4. No, I haven’t been to space and I don’t really want to either πŸ™‚

      Hope that satisfies your curiosity for now.

      Best wishes,
      Jacqueline

      The next book, Alice-Miranda in the Alps will be out on the 1st of September. I’m working on the one after that at the moment, called Alice-Miranda To the Rescue and it will be out on the 1st February.

      I’m so pleased that you love the books – some days writing is harder than others and knowing there are fans like you just waiting to see what happens next really helps me push through the difficult days πŸ™‚

    And also I love Alice-Miranda’s personality she is so nice.

      Hi Adelyn,

      What a lovely name you have! Alice-Miranda has been optioned as a television series and I believe that the production company is working on what they call pre-production. Hopefully one day it will be on TV but it’s tricky and you never know. I’d love to have a movie as well. I adore Alice-Miranda as she’s such a good friend.

      Hope you enjoy the new book which will be out on the 1st September.

    How do you go onto Name Generator?

    What was your childhood like?

    Do you know any Alice-Mirandas?

      Hi Ivy,

      Just click on the Name Generator and it should take you there.

      My childhood was pretty normal for an Aussie kid growing up in a small town. I had a horse, I rode my bike everywhere, played cricket in the backyard and paddock with the neighbour’s kids, went to school, swam in the pool almost every afternoon after school in summer, had a dog and a cat, two sisters, mum and dad. I worked hard at school and went to University.

      I have met a girl whose sister is called Alice Miranda without the hyphen – but I know a few little girls who are a lot like her (although perhaps not quite so wealthy!).

    When will the next book be out?

    What places have you been to before?

      I grew up in Camden in south west Sydney, although when I was a girl it was a country town!
      The next book is out on 1 February and it’s called Alice-Miranda To the Rescue.
      I have visited quite a lot of places but I’d try to write a list:

      Australia
      Every state and territory – the only capital city I haven’t visited is Darwin

      England, Scotland, Wales, Germany, Austria, Italy, France, Switzerland, China, Hong Kong, Japan, North America, New Zealand, Fiji. Maybe I’ve missed some too. I love travelling! I’ve visited lots of those places more than once and there are loads of places I still want to get to.

    Character Profile
    For my author study I have chosen Alice-Miranda for my character profile. This character is in all of the books I read. Alice-Miranda’s full name is: Alice-Miranda Highton-Smith-Kenington-Jones. She goes to a boarding school called Winchesterfeild Downsvale School for Proper Young Ladies.
    Alice-Miranda is a very adventurous girl. She is also very kind and caring to others. She has dark brown bushy hair, freckles that cover her nose, pale skin and blushed cheeks.
    Alice-Miranda in one part of the book said β€œLet’s go explore!” when she saw kids playing a game but her friend said β€œWe better get back.” This proves that Alice-Miranda is very adventurous girl.

    This is the Character profile.
