But the funny thing about names and nicknames is they do tend to stick. I think there are some times when the labels that are used to describe them are challenged a little bit, especially as the story progresses. Julie Berry: That is an excellent question. But then as soon as it had happened I sat back and looked at it and thought, you know seven girls is a lot to keep track of and a little label might help the readers keep them separate in their minds.Ĭhandler Follensbee: How come the characters’ titles don’t change throughout the book, even though their personalities change? The names that appeared in the very beginning, Disgraceful Mary Jane, Smooth Kitty, they just came to me. Julie Berry: You know, that’s a great question and the answer’s a funny one. Rileigh Hughes: When you were coming up with the names for the characters, what inspired you to choose those names? We start with eleven year old Rileigh Hughes, who wanted to know about all those nicknames. We visited them to discuss the book, and recorded their questions for the author, Julie Berry. Summer readers at the public library in Morristown read The Scandalous Sisterhood of Prickwillow Place. The first thing readers notice about the finishing school students is that they each have a moniker they can’t seem to shake: Dear Roberta Pratley, Disgraceful Mary Jane Marshall, Dull Martha Boyle, Stout Alice Brooks, Smooth Kitty Heaton, Pocked Louise Dudley and Dour Elinor Siever. Thus is born The Scandalous Sisterhood of Prickwillow Place. So when their headmistress and her brother drop dead at Sunday dinner, the young ladies decide to bury the bodies in the back garden and keep the murders a secret. But despite their dreary situation at school, there is one fate that all the girls agree would be far worse. The girls' lives are mundane under the care of their miserly headmistress. Etheldreda's School for Young Ladies are there to learn to behave as proper maidens should.
