Deborah asked Christine Manzari:

I just finished "Hooked" and LOVED it! Cat really captured my attention. I hope there will be a story for Trace. I think there is a lot more to him than this story allowed. My question is...why "Huck"? I never figured out why he wanted to be called that. Was it in the story and I missed it somehow?

Christine Manzari Hi Deborah! I'm so glad you enjoyed Hooked! What a great message to wake up to this morning. YES! There will be a story for Trace. I've already started it and the name of it is HITCHED. I hope it will be out by next winter. I have two other books coming out before that one. And Huck....I never said why he wanted to be called Huck. His full name is William Huxley Stone Jr. Since he had the same exact name as his father, growing up his family called him by his middle name, Huxley, which got shortened to Huck. But Huck isn't a very professional name so as he got older, he went by his first name, Will. Thanks for reading!
