Have you ever wondered how the characters in the book got their names, if Nat Amoore had a Lockett Squad of her own growing up, whether Nat and Mike can really speak Japanese or … if we can expect a We Run Tomorrow sequel?

We were blown away by the incredible questions from our Lit Club 4 Kids crew on the night... and so were Nat Amoore and Mike Barry! Find out the answers too all your burning questions below…
