Character Interview + Contest: Keefe from Keeper of the Lost Cities

I am so incredibly excited to have Keefe dropping in today! Keefe is just one of many awesome characters from Shannon Messenger's Keeper of the Lost Cities, hitting shelves on Tuesday! This book utterly amazed me in the best of ways, and is definitely high on my Kari Recommends to Everyone List, so make sure you check it out! And if that's not enough to entice you, then meet Keefe, my favorite character from the book!




Tell us about yourself, in 5 words.

Shockingly good-looking and incredibly awesome.
(It's not bragging when it's true)
(and hyphenated words totally count as one)

So... what do you think of Sophie?

Hey, what gives? I thought this was my interview. Doesn't Foster get enough attention with all her, "oh look, I caused another huge, world-changing thing to happen"?

*sighs dramatically*

But she's pretty cool, I guess. Not as cool as me, of course. But pretty cool. And don't believe her when she claims she's not mysterious. Trust me, that girl is one giant mystery.

How'd you and Fitz become friends?

He saw how awesome I was and followed me around school BEGGING me to be his friend. At first I was like, I dunno, this kid's a bit too "I am Captain Perfect" for my taste. But then I decided, eh, why not? I'll make the kid's life and maybe get him to chill a bit. (And don't believe his lies if he tells you anything different. That's exactly how it went down!)

What's the craziest thing you've ever done? And the worst thing you've ever gotten detention for?

I'm going to have to go with "no comment" to that first question, because no one knows that was me yet.

*smirks*

As for the worst thing I've gotten detention for... that would probably be the time I turned the lab table in my alchemy session to silver. I may have overestimated how potent that formula was, and didn't realize that it would turn everything touching the table to silver too. But Elwin was totally able to fix the skin on Lady Galvin's hand, and come on, she told me to impress her! What else was I supposed to do?

So I hear there's been a Great Gulon Incident.... tell us what happened.

Well, since I had nothing to do with this so-called "incident" *coughs* I can't really say what did or didn't happen. Except that of course whoever planned something that awesome was clearly a genius.

There's a Team Keefe forming (of which I am a proud member). How do you feel about that?

Finally, the world is starting to make sense! Now all I need is a day in my honor. Don't you think "Keefe Sencen Day" would be the perfect holiday? Everyone would ditch school to play pranks on each other and then shower me with presents and candy. Can you make that happen? You are a member of Team Keefe, after all, so isn't that kind of your job?


Thank you, Keefe, for stopping in, and I'll see what I can do about Keefe Sencen Day.
