School Visits and Morally Gray Characters with Lisa McMann - The Unwanteds Quests

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).
