M.T. Anderson, author of the National Book Award-winning children’s book The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing, Traitor to the Nation, Vol. 1: The Pox Party, is interviewed at the Book Standard. He has some good remarks about children’s literature in general and why he writes what he writes. This book is on order for the libary, and we have his other book, Whales on Stilts. And by the way, does anyone else remember Dynamite magazine?
