Listen "Endangering Fictional Children is His Business"
Episode Synopsis
Alan Gratz has been putting fictional children in danger since 2006. In this episode, the first of two, Alan joins Julie to talk about the winding road he traveled to writing social thrillers – compelling page-turners that also say something about the world in which children are growing up – and why he’s convinced of the importance of directness, even when he’s presenting hard events and truths to middle-grade readers.Purchase Ask a Librarian merch here.
