From Animorphs to Odd Otters, Katherine Applegate Brings the Talent
Manage episode 483539653 series 1000316

New York Times bestselling author Katherine Applegate has written or cowritten an impressive number of books from the 54-volume Animorph series to her latest, Odder. We discuss the inspiration behind Odder, the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s surrogate mother program for orphaned otters.
Applegate co-wrote the Animorphs series with her husband, and we discuss the challenges and rewards of collaborative writing versus solo writing. We finish our delightful talk with insights into why she incorporates complex themes in children’s books and her experiences with book-to-movie adaptations. Applegate will appear at the Dublin branch of the Columbus Library on May 10th.
