Kevin Sylvester joins host Beth Lyons to talk all about his work as a kids lit author/illustrator and the challenges of writing such a variety of genres and styles. Kevin shares his love of visual texts such as Spiderman Comics and graphic novels and discusses why it’s such an important genre for kids (and adults!) to explore. The conversation takes its first (of many) tangents to explore the idea of what actually is “middle grade” fiction and should books be sorted for readers using these arbitrary categories? Beth invited Kevin mostly to talk about his newest book, Apartment 713, which is a love story to community and stories that are held within the structures of a community. Beth and Kevin discuss the inspiration for the Regency (the main building that acts as a character within the story), time travel and historical fiction as a tricky genre for kids, and the cast of eccentric secondary/tertiary characters. WARNING! The conversation meanders for a bit as Kevin and Beth follow a tangent about sports stories and sports fandoms in general! Grab a copy of Apartment 713 and take time to check out the dedication at the beginning of Apartment 713…Who helped make you the reader you are today?
