'Kids Love To Be Scared': Louis Sachar On Balancing Fun And Fear
August 2, 2015
NPR Radio
All Things Considered host Arun Ruth:
"Louis Sachar writes creepy, funny, often weird books for kids. His Wayside School stories are favorites in elementary schools. His 1999 Newberry Medal winner, Holes, is still flying off shelves. Sachar's new book is an eco-bioterror-mystery-thriller-comedy. It's called Fuzzy Mud. When he came by NPR West a few days ago, I asked him to introduce the main three characters, starting with the protagonist Tamaya Dhilwaddi, who's a bit different from the typical hero in today's books for young readers."
