3 QUESTIONS FOR MAILE MELOY
The Apothecary
What's your favorite thing about your heroes, Janie and Benjamin?
I like the fact that Janie is curious about the world, and brave when she needs to be. And I like Benjamin's stubbornness, even when it gets in his way. They both face adventure with courage and with concern for their friends, which is a quality I admire in people.
When you were a kid, who was your favorite mystery detective?
By quantity, it was Trixie Belden, who was tomboyish and intuitive and believable. My stepmother gave me the books and I read a lot of them. But I also really loved Turtle Wexler in The Westing Game, who's only a mystery detective accidentally. (I guess that's true of most of them.)
