Morris Award Interview Part I: S.D. Crockett

It's time! Huzzah! Our annual series of interviews with the ALA's William C. Morris Award nominees is off to a roaring start, with Blythe Woolston's interview with S. D. Crockett, author of After the Snow.

After the Snow written by S. D. Crockett, published by Feiwel and Friends, an imprint of Macmillan Children’s Publishing Group.

In a future where winter lasts nearly all year, Willo returns from hunting
to discover his family has been kidnapped. Skilled at surviving in the
wild, he sets off from their remote farm, determined to locate them. But
when his journey brings him to a corrupt city, full of strange and
unfamiliar perils, Willo is swept up by events he doesn’t fully
understand.

(And enough of the dissembling; the series actually began, on time, last week--and thank goodness it was Blythe's turn! I have been curled up in bed with the nasty flu bug going round. Sometime Thursday morning I lifted my head and whimpered something to my husband about the interviews, but he just gave me some Gatorade and told me to go back to sleep. But I'm back, and the interviews have started, and we'll even have another one tomorrow! Stay tuned for John Corey Whaley's interview with Emily M. Danforth.)
