Character Interview & A Giveaway: Pete from Trapped by Michael Northrop

I’m excited to welcome Pete from Michael Northrop’s novel, Trapped, to the blog!

TFE: Hi Pete!

Pete: Hey.

TFE: How old are you?

Pete: I’m 15. I’d say almost 16, but I guess that’s not technically true.

TFE: What are some of your favorite things to do?

Pete: I like playing video games. Like when I get a new one, I’ll play it a ton. I mean, obviously if it’s a good one, I’ll do that, but even if it’s not that great, I still try to get all the way through. I like to see how long it will take me to get through it. And I like watching TV, listening to music. I don’t know, just normal stuff, I guess.

TFE: Favorite food?

Pete: I like a lot of different foods, so it kind of depends on my mood. Like if it’s cold and rainy, I really like spaghetti with meat sauce (not meatballs). It’s like comfortable—comfort food. I like garlic bread with it too, for the same reason. Other times, I really like pizza—either pepperoni or black olives, but not both, obviously.

TFE: Most prized possession?

Pete: Playstation 3. It’s got built-in Blu-ray too.

TFE: Out of the 7 kids trapped in the school you seemed to be the least stressed by the situation initially. Were you worrying under the laid-back exterior or did you still think someone would pick you up?

Pete: Yeah, I actually was kind of laid-back about it at first. Stupid, right? I seriously just did not see it coming—and by it, I mean the rest of the frickin’ week. All of that snow, I just thought it would stop, you know?

TFE: Who do you think was the greatest asset to your group during the time you were trapped? 

Pete: That’s tough to say. Jason, maybe? At least he knew what he was doing (mostly), with the fire bucket and all that. I kind of have a bone to pick with him, though.

TFE: What advice would you offer to someone who finds themselves trapped during a natural disaster?

Pete: Wow, I sort of feel like I’m the wrong person to ask. Don’t be an idiot. How’s that? Repeat: Don’t be a frickin’ idiot!

Thanks for stopping by, Pete!

I also have a signed copy of Trapped up for grabs!
