Hey, Mischa here. Aadi is off at a conference this week with our author, so I’m manning the blog. Today I am here with Wendy Robichaud who stars in 10 Steps to Girlfriend Status by Cynthia Toney.<\/p>\n

[Mischa] Who or what are you? What are your vitals?<\/p>\n

[Wendy] I\u2019m Wendy Robichaud, a 14-year- old freshman girl who is Catholic and half-Cajun. I attend a public high\u00a0school.<\/p>\n

[Mischa]What part do you play in the story?<\/p>\n

[Wendy]I\u2019m the main character in 10 Steps to Girlfriend Status, which is part of the Bird Face series for teens.\u00a0Everything that happens in my stories is seen through my point of view.<\/p>\n

[Mischa] How would you describe your book?<\/p>\n

[Wendy] 10 Steps to Girlfriend Status is a contemporary, realistic story that contains elements of mystery and<\/p>\n

romance. The mystery is about something that happened in my family a long time ago. I simply had to\u00a0find out about it!<\/p>\n

[Mischa]\u00a0Tell me about where you live? Who do you live with?<\/p>\n

[Wendy] I live in Louisiana, where we often see alligators and seldom see snow. My mom and I lived by ourselves\u00a0for years, but she remarries at the beginning of this book. Now we have a big family, which includes a\u00a0stepsister and little stepbrother for me.<\/p>\n

[Mischa] What\u2019s the most important thing in your life right now?<\/p>\n

[Wendy] Two things: becoming David\u2019s girlfriend and getting along with my new stepsister!<\/p>\n

[Mischa]\u00a0What do you like or dislike about the other characters from your book?<\/p>\n

[Wendy] I love Mrs. Villaturo, my neighbor. Mrs. V has been like a grandmother to me. And I really like her\u00a0grandson, Sam. We didn\u2019t hit it off at first, but now we\u2019re friends. He\u2019s deaf, but he reads my lips and\u00a0speaks to me because I don\u2019t know American Sign language yet. I plan to learn soon!<\/p>\n

[Mischa]\u00a0In your opinion, what is your best feature?<\/p>\n

[Wendy] My eyes. Good thing they\u2019re big, to balance out my nose.<\/p>\n

[Mischa]\u00a0What’s the worst thing someone ever did to you?<\/p>\n

[Wendy] In my first book, 8 Notes to a Nobody, a bully called me Bird Face every chance he got. But the worst\u00a0thing he did was ruin one of my pieces of art. It was piece of scenery I\u2019d painted for our junior high\u2019s\u00a0production of Oklahoma!<\/p>\n

[Mischa] What’s the most beautiful thing you&#39;ve ever seen?<\/p>\n

[Wendy] My puppy, Bella, when she was a newborn. My best friend and I found her with her mother and\u00a0brothers and sisters. Someone had abandoned them, so my friend and I took care of them until we\u00a0found them good homes.<\/p>\n

[Mischa] Final question and then I’ll let you get back to chasing after David. Who would play you in the movie?<\/p>\n

[Wendy] I think Anna Kendrick.<\/p>\n
