Philip Stead Tries Something New . . .

A middle grade novel! A Potion, a Powder, a Little Bit of Magic is out now and has already received starred reviews from Publishers Weekly, Kirkus, School Library Journal, and Booklist.

I sat down with Philip back in October, as he had just put the finishing touches on the book. We talk about his path to writing his first long form book, the challenges of writing middle grade, how the cover came together with the help of his daughter, and much more.
