If i was to choose, then i would choose between JESUS and JULI GOLDING.It would have been Jesus because he was perfect, son of god and had great power. I think I would have survived with him. BUT..... I would choose Julia because it is her scene, she would know every part of it!!! I think that if she can write such amazing books, then it would be a great honor and experienced for me. In between the two (SORRY JULIA) I think I would choose Jesus. His knowledge about every mountain, river, flower would be amazing to be heard. (Monika ENGLAND)

I would travel with Whitney Houston because I love singing and acting also it would be lovely to get tips from her. She has inspired me to follow my dream.

This may sound weird but I would want to travel with my two twin brothers. I never got to meet them because they died the day they were born. They would be 27 this year and I would love to meet them and talk with them about how there life has been. I know I would have a blast and I wouldn't be bored.

I would want to travel around the world in a hot air balloon with Grace O’Malley, a pirate more commonly known as Granuaile. I would want to go with her so that we could take over all the aircrafts we come across and get rich and have an adventure. U.S.A.

Great-grandma Morbey. Born in Essex; learned to sew, but not read. Married widowed vicar with five children, had four more, then he died. Took the children to a garret in Hackney; sewed dress shirts to pay for children’s education. All her great-grandchildren went to university. I want to thank her. (I'm in the UK)

If I could choose a fictional character I would say Phileas Fogg...otherwise, Nellie Bly. For one thing, her sparkling conversation would keep things interesting (I imagine even hot air balloon riding gets tiresome after a while) and for another I think she would jump at the chance to write an article about it. Or Ernest Shackleton, simply because he's the most amazing person who has ever lived. He's an explorer, to boot. Edit: I'm in the US. Sorry!

If I were going on an airballoon expedition, I'd pick Amelia Earhart. I think it would be fun to talk with one of the first female pilots. Plus, she knew how to fly planes, since someone would have to direct the airballoon, and flying an airballoon couldn't be that much different, right? I'm from the USA.

I'm from the Philippines, so yeah, i think my answer would differ from the others. I would chose Maria Makiling. I believe she's more of a legend than an actual person. Still, I think she did somehow shaped our country's history. Besides, since she's a very powerful being, maybe we can negotiate about saving the mother Earth (not that I'm positive she'll help).

Its pretty hard because there are lots of people that I would love to find out more about (in tudor times my favourite time in history). But to narrow it down I would have to go for Catherine Howard she sounds so fasanating in one of the books I read about her and imagine barely even having a chance to make your own desision but having your life ruled by men! Then being told that you are going to be executed by your husband! If not Catherine howard then defiantly Mercy she has true love that will last.

If I could take anyone on a hot air balloon with me, I would take Henry the 8th. Purely because I’d love the chance to push him out of it, so he could feel the terror, fear and humiliation that he put each of his wives through. An fitting punishment.

I would have a hot airballon ride with Alexander the Great because it would give me the chance to find out about the ancient world and all it's juicey secrets! (excuse any poor spelling, please!) i'm from Wales, United Kingdom

I would choose Florence Nightengale. She may not know about flying, but her life was fascinating. She was so dedicated caring for others that she gave up luxury, love, and much more. She could tell me about her life and it’s never bad to have a nurse on board. Canada

I would take Amelia Earhart on a balloon expedition around the world. Although she was a noted American aviation pioneer and author, I'll bet she would have enjoyed riding in a balloon. And then she'd write a book about it! USA

Hello, I know that I am so late for the competion and hope that I can still enter. I got the idea with the Lady Grace Mysteries written under a (pseudonym names)to become one of the maids of honour to Queen Elizabeth II. It is a difficult role to be in because of the continuous amount of sceming, back stabbing, competition and the like that comes from being in that position. In the other hand you have a privilaged life, getting to wear nice clothes, eating good food and of course being close to the queen. However I wouldn't classify myself as a typical maid of honour who care more for fashion, marriage and family life, I would have loved to be a secret bodyguard to the queen (like the lady grace mysteries) nobody would suspect me of protecting the queen (as most people think that maids of honour are shallow minded) I wouldn't be such a gossip, instead would read books and knowing about the world when the other maid would do the opposite ( I'm quite the rebell) Thank you for reading this :) Ps: from your biggest book fan Emegha x (16 years old)

I know it's February 1st, I was going to enter yesterday but I forgot. If this doesn't count I understand. In Tudor times I would be the daughter of a blacksmith. We would live in the county and I would spend my days running around in breeches like a boy,(as would my mother) not caring what anyone thought of me. I'd be a skilled archer and help my father at the forge. I'd enjoy riding horse and playing with the animals we have. I probably would never marry (much to my father's relief) unless of course I found someone who liked me for me. (US reader)

I would like to have been one of my ancestors and experienced the time from a normal person's point of view, either that or someone at the Tudor court getting to observe so many fascinating people first hand! (UK)

I'm in the UK and I would have loved to have been Bess of Hardwick. Even before Mary and Elizabeth took the throne, she was living proof of female empowerment and "girl power". She showed that looks aren't everything but a sharp mind and cool determination can get you where you really want to be.

Yun-A Kwak wrote on 21 January 2012:

Hmm.. That's an interesting question. I would have loved to be Queen Elizabeth I. She was a fascinating lady, and held a position of great power. While the possibility of death would be terrifying, Queen Elizabeth did change the course of history.

Hello, My name is Karen, I am 12 and I love your books. If I had to choose one the answer would simply be none. I would never be able to choose. If I could be or travel with someone I don’t know. You can never really know someone unless you’ve met them. I would love to have lived in the Elizabethan era. In Stoke-by-Lacy. Or I would have loved to meet Anne Frank, Amelia Earhart or with the Brontë sisters. But probably Anne. She seems so like me a bit crazy and with a short temper. She inspired me to write and I admire her that in even the most horrible of situations she can smile and just get through it. I honestly think she is the most amazing child author of all generations. It is simply the fact that she wrote in her first paragraph that she doubts that anyone will be interested in the thoughts of a normal teenage girl. That’s what so inspires me how she could think that she wasn’t interesting or special. She is … amazing and nothing less. From Me PS: Evan if I don’t win could you please answered because most people are mean and say I cannot write books because I am half German and I would love to know your thoughts on my Text.

Nationality is no bar to being an author! As long as you enjoy writing, keep going.
