Episode 7: Claire Legrand

Claire Legrand has a sweet heart and a dark imagination - a
combination that has made for two magical middle grade novels
(THE CAVENDISH HOME FOR BOYS AND GIRLS and THE YEAR OF SHADOWS),
and a forthcoming YA, WINTERSPELL, due out September 30 from
Simon & Schuster. We met at her home in Princeton, New Jersey
to talk scary stories for kids, earning honor badges in life, and
finding time amidst the "author" madness to actually write.
