David Almond wins Hans Christian Andersen medal". Alison Flood. The Guardian 23 March 2010. Retrieved 16 October 2012.Mina is extremely courageous and is viewed as an ideal personality for hero work. Before entering U.A., Mina would condemn bullying in middle school and even convinced some bullies to come around with her upbeat and friendly attitude. She can also put her life on the line to save others, even if she can't deal with the fear afterwards. This stalwart attitude was seen when she lied to Gigantomachia to protect her friends from the behemoth’s anger and successfully got the giant to leave, just before collapsing into tears of fear and relief, showing that the ordeal had terrified her as well. Because the twisted horns were considered difficult to draw, this design was eventually dropped, with Mina's current design having smaller, simpler horns.

Reconstruct the human digestion system in the classroom. Use a plastic sandwich box to represent the mouth, add some breakfast cereal, milk and toast, then mash it up with teeth (a potato masher) and add saliva (water in a labelled plastic bottle). Attach a funnel to a long balloon with the end snipped off (oesophagus) and pour your runny mixture down into the stomach (a freezer bag). Oh I don’t know – obscure? That’s a hard question… That is the most obscure question I’ve had! I’m trying to think, there have been lots which I have been surprised by and I’m trying to remember…. I remember I was somewhere recently and somebody asked “how did you know what it felt like to be Skellig?” and I thought that was a really interesting question. Another question involved Skellig and Kit’s Wilderness (young people ask the best questions) and a boy looked at me and said “In Skellig, you’ve got Mina who has a cat and in Kit’s Wilderness you have John Askew who has a dog so obviously the relationship between children and animals is important to you.” And I suddenly realised yes it is! And then he says “So, Mina and John are like witches because they have their familiars” and I thought oh yes, they are its true! And I’d never thought of it like that before. So questions asked by different people kind of illuminate your own work for you; it’s those kinds of questions which help you understand what people get from your stories.
