Remembering Andrew Clements

December 5, 2019 by Travis Jonker   Leave a Comment

Travis: Colby and I were sad to hear that the great Andrew Clements passed away. We decided to share our 2018 episode with Clements again.

In the episode, Colby talks with Clements about how he got into writing, the inspiration behind Frindle, and his book The Losers Club.

We hope you enjoy the episode.
