We’re thrilled to be talking to Molly from Barbara Jean Weber's The Welcome Sign. It is a pleasure to have her with us today at Pimp That Character!

Thank you for your interview,  Molly.  How old are you and what do you do for a living? 

I'm 10 and in the 4th grade. My mom and I moved to Barnstable, MA to find out what happened to my grandmother. She is missing. 


Can you tell us about one of your most distinguishable features?

I have a small scar next to my right eye, near my temple where I banged into a shelf. It happened when I was in kindergarten and I had to have 2 stitches.

What would I love the most about you?

I am a positive person who loves adventures. I am friendly, honest and love to have fun with friends.

What makes you laugh out loud?

Definitely my cat when he is being goofy or my friends when we are goofing around.

What is your most treasured possession?

My cat, Cuddles.

Are you a loner or do you prefer to be surrounded by friends?

There are times I like to just be alone in my room but mostly I like hanging out with friends.

What is in your refrigerator right now? 

Left over chicken tacos from dinner last night. That's my favorite food. There might be milk, too.

What is your greatest fear? 

Failing a test I didn't study for or being caught biting my nails by my mom.

If you could change one physical thing about yourself, what would that be?

I'd like to be a bit taller.

Who is your best friend? 

Taran Deevins

Do you have children? 

No, I'm only 10.

What is your favorite weather? 

I love rainy days, because I get to spend more time with my cat.

Do you like to cook? 

If so, what is your favorite thing to cook? Sort of. My mom is teaching me how to cook some things. I know how to make Macaroni and Cheese on my own. I like to bake cookies with my mom and grandmother.

Book Description:

When 10-year-old Molly Parnell's grandmother mysteriously disappears she and her mother travel to Cape Cod to take ownership of the house they inherited and find out answers about the sudden disappearance. But what they discover could be more dangerous and life changing than they ever imaged. Molly and her mother find a beautiful mermaid welcome sign in the attic and place it on the front door. Unusual things start to happen and they are flooded with visitors who claim they knew the grandmother.  The true powers behind the mysterious sign are revealed as Molly learns her grandmother was part of a secret organization working to keep balance between the magical realm and the real world. The magical realms placed an invisible veil of secrecy over the world to hide their true identities from the human world but allowing them to live among them  in secret. An angry rebel group of magical beings, tired of living in hiding is tearing down and destroying the magical cloaking fabric between the two worlds. If they are not stopped the magical realm will no longer be safe from the world.  As Molly and her mom embark on a dangerous and magical adventure throughout the magical realms to help stop  the rebels, she learns of her own magical powers and her strong family heritage connected to the welcome sign. Along the way, she teams up with new magical friends helping to keep the realm of magic safe from the eyes of the world and discovers that her grandmother was right all along. The world she thought she knew no longer exists, but an amazing world of magic woven into their world has always been hiding  in plain sight.

Thank you for your interview, Nolan.   How old are you and what do you do for a living? No problem, thank you for asking me.

My name is Vispushin. I am a perianth. We are an ancient race…you might relate to us as kind of telepathic pegasi. My true age is a mystery…For a living?…I assume you mean what I do in my life.
