Today, one of my very favorite authors returns to Read-Aloud Revival.
You know him as the author of Sweep, The Night Gardener, the Peter Nimble series, and The Fabled Stables. That’s right–Jonathan Auxier is back!
This time, we’re talking about the much-awaited conclusion to the Peter Nimble series, The War of the Maps. In our conversation, we delve into the guiding questions he explores during the writing process, and how each of these questions becomes a doorway for discovering who we are, whose we are, and what our work is here in the world.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- Why Jonathan often explores the tension of the end of childhood in his books
- How trying to solve a guiding question shapes the narrative of Jonathan’s works
- The best way to write a story
