Happy 13th Birthday, Leeli!
So today is the first day of autumn, which is also my daughter Skye’s birthday, which is why her first name is Autumn, and since Skye’s nickname since she was a baby was Leeli, I also named the sweet little Wingfeather girl Leeli, which is why I’m writing this post here. Got it? Skye is […]

Leeli and Baxter
Here’s a sweet picture of Leeli and Baxter. Faith (now 13) drew this when she was 11 and still waiting for The Warden and the Wolf King to come out. I love that little doggy’s face, and Leeli’s freckles. Thank you, Faith! This week, Madame Sidler will be reading chapters 19-24 in The Warden and the Wolf […]

Janner Acts
When it comes to making decisions, are you more like Janner, or like Tink? The leader drew an arrow with one hand and discreetly uncapped the bottle of poison with the other. “That’s a bad idea, Grouzab,” Janner said. “I won’t let you kill this troll.” “Have you any fruit?” Grouzab asked. “Not for you, […]

The Valor of the High King
Kalmar is wonderful here. If you read the previous chapters, you’ll know that he is struggling with something that weighs on him, and it will (spoiler alert?) keep weighing on him for awhile yet. But I love to see him run, and to fight for those he loves, and to be seen as a warrior […]

Where’d the Book Club go?
Can I help you? You may have noticed that the Book Club tab in the menu is gone! Never fear; we just changed it to Forum. We have a lot of great conversations going on in that forum—favorite Oskar quotes, conversations both silly and serious, book recommendations, Durgan sneakery, pronunciation guides. Andrew and I would […]

FAQ #2: How Long Does it Take to Write a Book?
A couple weeks ago I answered a question about inspiration. This question is a bit more practical, and I’m asked it at every single school visit. How long does it take to write a book? It’s a fair question. When you’ve never written a book, the task seems insurmountable. Hundreds and hundreds of pages of […]

Lost in the snowy woods
Thorks! Is there any man, woman, child, or beast who would not be horrified by the hideousness of the thork’s slinking composition and needle-sharp teeth? The very sight of them is enough to drive the stoutest heart to quivering and madness! And yet, this paragraph’s vastness and beauty laugh at the horror of thorks and their squirming. […]

Things to come
Here, dear readers, is the beginning of the newest little building at the Warren: Andrew’s very first writing cottage. Andrew is excited, dreaming of new songs and stories. I am excited, too, because new stories mean new characters, and new characters are basically new little brothers and sisters and fourth-aunt-cousins for his older characters. Let’s pretend we […]

To War
Dear readers, we have reached the end of The Monster in the Hollows. We have laughed and cried together. We have yearned and talked and felt deeply. What a joy and a privilege it is to read these stories with you. Next week: The Warden and the Wolf King! [Rudric] turned to his people and mounted the […]
