How Andrew Clements Came Up With Frindle

Colby: I had a really nice time at NCTE last fall talking to Andrew Clements about his latest book The Losers Club. We talked about a lot of things, and I left the conversation thinking how nice it would be to sit down with Andrew for coffee each week. He has so many stories, and I want to hear them all.

Please check out the episode below.

I interviewed Andrew for my One Question With Mr. Sharp series after we got done talking for The Yarn.
