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

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!

Best wishes,

Jacqueline

Hi Mrs Harvey!
How has your week been? I adore your Alice-Miranda books and can’t wait till #12 is out. It sounds great to be on KIDS WB. I’ll be sure to keep an eye out for it.
Lots of love from your #1 Alice Miranda fan,

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

i love your Alice Miranda books just i don’t have them all

July 5, 2015 at 8:07 am

Jacqueline Harvey

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.

Best wishes,
Jacqueline

Kossie Andrew

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!

March 29, 2016 at 3:34 pm

Jacqueline Harvey

Hi Kossie,
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.
Best wishes,
Jacqueline.

Roseale Annesley

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!

July 5, 2015 at 8:20 am

Jacqueline Harvey

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 Kimberley,

Samantha

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
Samantha xx

July 5, 2015 at 11:17 am

Zoe

I asked too (which country) she said that the reader decides,

July 5, 2015 at 1:22 pm

grace

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.

Grace xxx 🙂

July 6, 2015 at 2:45 pm

grace

(also i forgot to add when they go on their cruise they pass Italy which is shorter to get to from England than Australia) 🙂

July 6, 2015 at 2:50 pm

grace

(also i hope i haven’t been to rude, i am very inquisitive, curious and not really thoughtful to what i say! sorry!)

p.s sorry if I’ve been bothering you/annoying you!!!!!)

July 6, 2015 at 3:02 pm

Jacqueline Harvey

Hi Grace,

You’re not rude at all! I can tell you’re very curious and I completely understand that 🙂 I am a curious person too.

Best wishes,
Jacqueline x

July 6, 2015 at 7:19 pm

Jacqueline Harvey

Hi Grace,

You’re right about having a queen in England but did you know that Queen Elizabeth is our queen too 🙂 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

July 6, 2015 at 7:17 pm

Thanks to responding to all three of my messages!

I was so grateful you did 🙂

Im just wondering if there are going to be any events at all in Sydney or the Central Coast?

Also with the Alice Miranda tv shows are there going to be casting soon? And where if they are?

Thank you so much, this means alot to me
Grace xxx 🙂

July 6, 2015 at 11:13 pm

Jacqueline Harvey

Hi Grace,

I don’t have any Central Coast events planned right at the moment but I will be at Berkelouw’s Bookshop in Hornsby this afternoon at 4.30pm. 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.

Have a great week.

Thanks SOOOOOOO much Jacqueline!!!!!!

My nonna lives in Sydney so i will beg my mum if i can go to Hornsby on Thursday! (I REALLY hope she says yes!!! ;))

I hope i haven’t annoyed you…..

Hi Grace,

I’m at Berkelouw’s in Hornsby this afternoon and Berkelouw’s in Leichhardt on Thursday afternoon. I just didn’t want you to go the wrong shop.

Hope to see you there!

p.s congrats on Kids Wb i watched the external link and it was SO funny!!! hahahahaha 😀

p.p.s I LOVE ALICE MIRANDA!!!!! she is a hope to all!!

July 7, 2015 at 10:09 am

Jacqueline Harvey

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

ONE more question how old is Alice

October 3, 2015 at 10:26 am

Jacqueline Harvey

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.

Best wishes,
Jacqueline

Hi Jaqueline Harvey
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
Regards Aida your biggest fan and hope to see you in the future at our school and other workshops and meet and greets

July 7, 2015 at 7:28 pm

Jacqueline Harvey

Hi Aida,

It was lovely to see you again last week. Thanks for my beautiful little creation – it’s hanging up in my office. I’m so glad that you enjoyed the new book. 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. At least the weather it conducive to being inside – bit chilly isn’t it!

Hope to see you again soon.

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. 🙂
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.

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!

July 19, 2015 at 5:55 pm

Jacqueline Harvey

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,

Dear Jaccqueline,
My name is Clementine and I can’t wait for the next Clementine Rose book. 2016 is a long long time to wait. I am 6 years old and my mum reads them to me. I look like Clementine Rose. But Mum says she wishes I behaved like her,
Love from Clementine. xxx

Jacqueline Harvey

Dear Clementine,

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!).

Hello Jacqueline,
I love reading your books but I have a few questions! I am very excited to hear what the answers are!
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?
sincerely Anonomous!

July 21, 2015 at 10:52 am

Jacqueline Harvey

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 🙂

Hope that satisfies your curiosity for now.

Best wishes,
Jacqueline

Hi Jacqueline! I just wanted to say that you are an amazing author! I love your books so much and I have the whole series! One quick question: When will the next Alice-Miranda book be released? Thanks, and I hope you had fun on Kids WB!

July 24, 2015 at 3:54 pm

Jacqueline Harvey

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 🙂

Have a great weekend.

In answer to your questions:
1. Yes there is a good chance Caprice will somehow make an appearance in the Alps

Hi Jacqueline,
Just to tell you, me and my friends think that your books are so good.
They are the best, if they were made into a movie it would be even better.
And also I love Alice-Miranda’s personality she is so nice.

P.S can’t wait to read more

July 26, 2015 at 2:47 pm

Jacqueline Harvey

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.

I love to play golf when I have time and have just joined a new club (and am hoping to play a lot more!). I like to travel, to eat out, to read. I used to ride horses but I don’t have much time for that anymore – although I wish I did.

Hope that answers your question.

Hi Lily,

I love the idea of singing concerts. There have been a few in the stories and in the one I’m just finishing now which will be out in February next year the choir has to sing at a wedding!

Thanks for your lovely words.

Hi Jacqueline
I have read 6 of your books and am hoping to read no. 13 soon. I love your books because a lot happens and everything is revealed at the end. I have a few questions for you:

How do you go onto Name Generator?

What was your childhood like?

Do you know any Alice-Mirandas?

Kind Regards,
Ivy

Jacqueline Harvey

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!).

Best wishes,
Jacqueline

Hi Ms Harvey,
I love your Alice Miranda books but I only have 5, to my disappointment. I got #12 for my birthday. I hope to read #13 soon. I have a few questions for you:
Where did you grow up?

When will the next book be out?

What places have you been to before?

You do not have to answer all the questions if you don’t want to.
Kind Regards,
Ivy

Hi Ivy,

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.

Best wishes,
Jacqueline

Hi, Jacquline!
I am doing an author study on you and your books Alice-Miranda. I am up to writing a character profile. Next is the author biography, so don’t mind if I am asking a few questions!

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 “Let’s go explore!” when she saw kids playing a game but her friend said “We better get back.” This proves that Alice-Miranda is very adventurous girl.

This is the Character profile.
Chloe (Chloe is my real name)

Thank you so much. Did you like my character profile on Alice-Miranda?

It was great Chloe – sorry – I thought I had written something about it but clearly I didn’t :). Well done!

Best wishes,

Amy

i love your books Ms. Harvey can’t wait for the next one to come out. 🙂 Here are my questions:

1)What is your favorite ice-cream flavor?
2)Do you have any brothers or sisters?
3)What is your favorite movie?

lol,
Amy 🙂

November 15, 2015 at 2:42 pm

Jacqueline Harvey

Hi Amy,

In answer to your questions.

1. I like vanilla bean or macadamia ice cream the best
2. I have two sisters who are younger than me.
3. My favourite movie – that’s tricky – probably Matilda, Denis the Menace, Home Alone, Up and The Sound of Music (I love kids’ movies better than most adult ones!).

Best wishes,
Jacqueline

Hi, jacq my name is Ella and I absolutely love Alice Miranda’s name it is so unique. My full name is Eloise and I love your books to!!

Clementine Rose is also really unique, I love all of the books. Earlier this year you came to my school with Dymoks. My friends last name is Miranda and her first name is Ally. We call her A. Miranda. I thought that sounds a lot like Alice Miranda.

Love Ella

Jacqueline Harvey

Hi Ella,

That’s funny you called me Jacq as that’s what my family call me too and lots of my close friends. I’m so pleased that you love Clementine Rose. I can’t wait until her next book comes out. I really love it and can’t wait to share it with everyone in April. Your friend’s name is a lot like Alice-Miranda!

Best wishes,
Jacqueline (or Jacq!)
