The Wee Writing Lassie and Ailish Sinclair present “Bubbles Galore” – Question 5: Favourite Food?

Unlike Ariel, Bubbles doesn’t have the healthiest relationship with food. She believes she needs to be thinner than she is, and favours salads for meals. When she’s feeling rebellious, she tends towards chocolate and sugar, as she will do after this scene:

I choose one of his own words as an answer to all these commands. I say it repeatedly, mindlessly, with no expression in my voice.

No cake: “Absolutely.”

No boys: “Absolutely.”

Last year, our morning class teacher Guy (Australian) told us that British people are incapable of saying the word ‘absolutely’ without sounding sarcastic. It’s true. Try it. Or imagine it being said in a British accent. So I’m not really lying. I’m just being sarcastic.

Bubbles: Dancing Through History

It’s going to be the most boring year of her life. That’s what Bubbles has decided. This, her second year at the castle school, will involve no naked dancing, or television appearances. No fires in stone circles. No meltdowns. No hospital stays. You know, not like last year.

As she walks up the tree-lined drive towards the castle, she is immediately surrounded by TV reporters. Next she encounters the enigmatic and charming new boy, American student Aiden, and finds herself in an instalove situation. Being cast as the lead in a historical documentary is altogether too exciting and fun, as are the night-time visits to caves and underground chambers.

As Bubbles navigates her difficult home life, the complexities of her mental health and various intense experiences at the castle, she struggles to maintain equilibrium.

Will she be able to find balance amidst the chaos, or will her carefully laid ‘boring’ plan unravel completely?

Dive into this captivating coming-of-age tale filled with drama, romance, and self-discovery.

The Wee Writing Lassie and Ailish Sinclair present “Bubbles Galore” – Question 4: Hopes for the School Year?

Bubbles wants everything to be boring this year at the castle to help her stay well-balanced and calm.

Excerpt: It’s going to be the most boring year of my life. I’m very determined about that. You know, it’s not going to be like last year. This time there’ll be no naked dancing, or television appearances. No fires in stone circles. No hospital stays. No meltdowns. There’s nothing to see here! Move it along!

The Wee Writing Lassie and Ailish Sinclair present “Bubbles Galore” – Question 3 Favourite Person in the World

Near the beginning of the story, Bubbles would say Aiden is her favourite person, the new student at the school. As to who it really is, the reader will see that expressed in various ways throughout the story, and they may work it out before Bubbles herself.

Excerpt: Okay. I like this. I know that this is so that she and I can talk in private. Like the besties we are. But the moment we are out of earshot of the great hall and into the kitchen passageway, she starts giving me a hard time.

“Don’t you go fancying him,” she says.

“I don’t fancy him.”

“You do.”

I shrug. It’s probably not a good idea to state that this goes beyond fancying and that I’ve actually fallen in love with Aiden. Love at first sight. Instalove.

The Wee Writing Lassie and Ailish Sinclair present “Bubbles Galore” – Question 2: Favourite Family Member?

Her favourite family members would be her little sister, Jasmine, and her mum. She’s close with both of them.

Excerpt: I hold the posh black handbag in my hands as I sit on the bed. In my room. In the castle. Getting ready for Alexander’s party. Trying not to cry.

I don’t know how my mum did it, you see. She has no money of her own. I didn’t think she had anyway. She must have had some squirrelled away. And she spent it on me.

The Wee Writing Lassie and Ailish Sinclair present “Bubbles Galore” – Question 1: What’s Bubble’s greatest Fear?

She is terrified of bad things happening to other people, people she loves.

Excerpt: My mind goes from just thawed to on fire instantly. Who can it be on the phone? Who would interrupt my school day like this? And why? My little sister, Jasmine. She’s who I think of first. What if something has happened to her? Something terrible?

The Wee Writing Lassie and Ailish Sinclair present “Meet Ariel” – Question 6: Any Romance in the offing?

Well, yes. Of course ☺ It’s one of the big questions of the book. Who will she end up with, if anyone? There’s her original boyfriend, the dependable and loving Jonasz, but there’s also Alexander, the best looking boy she’s ever seen, whose dark past mirrors her own in many ways…

Two excerpts from Ariel: Dancing on TV

1. Then kissing Jonasz takes everything else away. For a few moments the whole world is warm and loving and good, how it always should be, how I always want it to be.

2. Alexander looks at me with his big brown eyes. Alexander smiles at me, and a spark of white light glints from his perfect teeth. And then he speaks. To me.

The Wee Writing Lassie and Ailish Sinclair present “Meet Ariel” – Question 5: Favourite Teacher at the Castle?

At the start of the book it’s definitely her relaxed morning-class teacher Guy, rather than the more strict and severe Mr. Zolotov.

Excerpt from Ariel: Dancing on TV

And then it’s like a celebration. “Good class, good class!” We all high five each other, chanting the words. It isn’t till after the high five that I realise I used my right hand for it, and no one reacted or commented.

“That was the best class I’ve ever had,” I tell them all.

“Aren’t you the sweetest?” says Guy who gets into the elevator with us.

The Wee Writing Lassie and Ailish Sinclair present “Meet Ariel” – Question 4: Favourite Food?

Ariel is not a fussy eater. She happily eats more or less any food. At the castle, she does come to appreciate chocolate cake, however…

Excerpt from Ariel: Dancing on TV

“You’re staying at your boyfriend’s house at the moment, aren’t you?”

I nod, mouth full of cake.

“That’s a big step,” she says, “living with someone for the first time.”

“We’re not really living together,” I explain. “I sleep in his brother’s bedroom.”

“Still, you had it foisted on you before you would have chosen it.”

We both eat more cake. It has four layers of icing and is topped with cherries and cream.

“Do you have stuff to pick up?” she asks.

I do. I forgot about that.

The Wee Writing Lassie and Ailish Sinclair present “Meet Ariel” – Question 3: Plans for the Future?

Ariel wants to be a professional dancer, though her mind is usually focused on more immediate matters, such as winning the televised competition that takes place in the book.

Excerpt from Ariel: Dancing on TV

“We’re going to practise so hard that we’re going to win,” I tell the boys after breakfast, having suggested that Henry join us in our piece. “Seriously, every spare moment.”

We start immediately. So the rest of the weekend is spent working on the secret choreography for what was a pas de deux but is now a pas de trois…
