My Interview With Jen Calonita, The Extraordinary NYT Times Bestselling Middle-Grade Author!
Once upon a time, there weren’t any middle-grade books, especially fairy tale middle-grade books. Middle schoolers were starting to grow tired of the same old Cinderella story or Snow White. Then, one author came along and helped change that. And I’m so honored to share my interview with the trailblazing author Jen Calonita. She along with other writers changed the course of fairy tales forever. Her “Fairy Tale Reform School,” “Lost Legends,” and many other book series are a huge part of the new MG genre. The end, well, not just yet. In fact, she’s just getting started. If you're a fan of fairy tales with a twist, Disney, and everything books, you'll love my book chat with Jen!
