The ‘Eight Days’ author also talks taking Ouija boards into Mount Pleasant Cemetery and her favourite city food finds.
In Teresa Toten’s new young adult novel, a girl, her grandfather and a neighbour take a road trip from Toronto to Chicago and back again. The journey one way takes just over eight hours but in the book “Eight Days” — thanks to a perpetually overheating car plus two days in the windy city — the full adventure ends up spanning the titular eight days.
Toten, who was born in Croatia and emigrated to Canada as an infant, spent most of her childhood and adult years in Toronto. She tends to set books in her de facto hometown, including her latest, which begins and ends in an apartment building in Thorncliffe Park.
