Marissa chats with Lisa McMann about her newest middle grade fantasy - THE UNWANTEDS QUESTS: DRAGON SLAYERS - as well as the joys and challenges of writing a character who is exactly 50% good and 50% bad; how important it is to cultivate children's natural creativity; one cool way to add visual interest and a personal touch to school visit presentations; and the fan-made app dedicated to the Unwanteds Series (and yes, Marissa is super jealous).Books discussed in this episode can be purchased from your local independent bookstore or buy them online from the Happy Writer bookshop.org store (that benefits indie bookstores) at https://bookshop.org/shop/marissameyerBooks discussed in this episode can be purchased from your local independent bookstore or buy them online from the Happy Writer bookshop.org store (that benefits indie bookstores) at https://bookshop.org/shop/marissameyer Find out more and follow The Happy Writer on social media: https://www.marissameyer.com/podcast/
