Authors and Interviews

Cathryn Constable (The White Tower) at Mr Ripleys Enchanted Books (possibly YA, but still sounds like a great book!)

Other Good Stuff

An activity book to go with the Warren the 13 (it's probably other places as well, but I found it at The Reading Nook Reviews)

Get Those Kids Out of the Room:  Books to Get Your Students Outside and Immersed in Nature (a list that includes two fantasy books--The Wild Robot and Maybe a Fox) at Nerdy Book Club.  The relationship between fantasy and nature is an interesting topic; I guess a lot of outside pretend games really are fantasy based, so it makes sense to offer kids books that will inspire them to shoot their siblings in the face with homemade bows and arrows (sorry Emily).

The Sydney Taylor Book Awards have been announced, and The Inquisitor's Tale is a gold medalist
