    1) The reason she came up with the idea of WALK TO MOONS is because she was on this road trip with her family and that made her write this book.
    2) She says in the summer they all take a trip and pile up in the car and heads off to Michigan or once to Idaho. Also , she says she does not know how her family puts up with all of them in the car together.
