We're revisiting our conversation between host Jo Reed and children's book author Maryrose Wood. Maryrose is the author of, most recently, BAD BADGER, a charming fable about friendship, as well as ALICE'S FARM, and The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place series that listeners can enjoy in six brilliant audiobooks. In this conversation, Maryrose shares her insights about the special relationships she has had with the narrators of her books: Katherine Kellgren for five of the six titles, and Fiona Hardingham, who picked up the reins for the last title, THE LONG-LOST HOME. Maryrose talks about how she developed the relationship between author and narrator—twice—and about choosing narrators who could find “that beautiful sweet spot between performing the book in this wildly external way while also preserving the intimacy of the reader's relationship with the book.” Read our reviews of Maryrose Wood's audiobooks at our website Discover thousands of audiobook reviews and more at AudioFile's website     Learn more about your ad choices.

After I finished writing my novel for kids, I realized I was not particularly well versed in what kids were reading these days and so set out to read all the contemporary middle grade fiction I could get my hands on. Top of my list: The Secret Keepers, The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place, The Bromeliad Trilogy, The Girl Who Drank the Moon and Miss Ellicott's School for the Magically Minded. There's a lot of great stuff out there. And they tend to be real page turners compared to a lot of adult books. One of the books I encountered on my search was The Screaming Staircase, the first book of the Lockwood and Company series. It takes place in a world where children work as ghost hunters because adults can't see spirits. It's somehow both Victorian and contemporary and has the charming quality of being a workplace story for kids. I know the youth love a ghost and here kids can see them and hear them and fight them every night. I liked it. In theory. But I wasn't compelled to read more than the first one for some reason, even though the story was clearly not complete after Book One.

You are going to love hearing the story of how Alice's Farm, A Rabbits' Tale came to life through the imagination of Maryrose Wood!  I'm absolutely over the moon in love with the imagery in this story.  The theme of the interconnectedness we share between humans, animals, and nature is beautiful.  This book is a great reminder that even the most vulnerable have the capability of making big changes.  And whether we see eye to eye in real life, we can all set our differences aside to make positive strides toward the common good.You can enter for a chance to win a signed copy of Alice's Farm by signing up for the email list at TeamKindHumans!According to maryrose.com, "Maryrose's latest book is Alice's Farm, A Rabbits' Tale, a critically lauded middle-grade novel which the New York Times called “delightful and quirky and full of good will…necessary for some kids right now.” This tale of a wild rabbit who joins forces with a human boy in order to save their shared farmland home was named a Charlotte Huck recommended book by the NCTE. Newbery medalist Rebecca Stead called it “tender and wonderful. It's a fantasy, it's real, it's just a joy. And absolutely a book for our times."Maryrose is best known as the author of The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place, the acclaimed middle-grade series about a teenaged governess and her three raised-by-wolves pupils, published by Balzer + Bray. Titles in the six-book series have appeared on “Best Children's Books of the Year” lists from NPR, Christian Science Monitor, Kirkus, and others. They've been Junior Library Guild selections and received multiple starred reviews from Publishers Weekly, Kirkus Reviews, School Library Journal, and Booklist. (The fun with Miss Penelope Lumley and her wolfish pupils continues at The Swanburne Academy, an online community for incorrigibly curious families who love to learn and grow, together.)Maryrose has published seven novels for young adults, including My Life: The Musical (Delacorte) and Why I Let My Hair Grow Out (Berkley Books). Her personal essays and short fiction appear in Recycle This Book: 100 Top Children's Book Authors Tell You How to Go Green (Random House), Dear Bully: Seventy Authors Tell Their Stories (HarperCollins), Who Done It? (Soho Teen), and Starry-Eyed (Running Press).She started her creative career in the theater, appearing in the original Broadway cast of Merrily We Roll Along, the cult flop-turned-beloved Stephen Sondheim/George Furth musical featured in the 2016 documentary, Best Worst Thing That Ever Could Have Happened (now streaming on Netflix). She studied acting and film and television writing at NYU, and comedy writing and improv with the Groundlings. Her work as a lyricist/librettist for musical theatre has made her a three-time winner of the Richard Rodgers Award, administered by the American Academy of Arts and Letters.An unabashed story structure nerd, Maryrose is a deep believer in the power of well-structured, gorgeously written narratives to have a lasting impact. She offers training and mentorship for writers through her own program, called Path of the Storyteller. She's taught fiction writing at CUNY-Lehman College and NYU's Gallatin School, and is proud to serve on the faculty of the Stony Brook Children's Literature Fellows program.Maryrose is a native New Yorker with Long Island roots who now lives and writes in Southern California, delightfully near the beach. She has two grown offspring, two Bronx-born cats, and is working on something new. "

Author Maryrose Wood joins us on a bonus episode. Maryrose is the author of The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place series that listeners can enjoy in six brilliant audiobooks. The Incorrigibles are set in Victorian England and focus on Miss Penelope Lumley, who is engaged as a governess to care for and educate three children who were originally raised by wolves. Mayhem ensues, and these rolicking stories are the perfect family audiobooks. Maryrose shares her articulate insights about the special relationships she has had with the narrators of her books: Katherine Kellgren for five of the six titles, and Fiona Hardingham, who picked up the reins for the last title, THE LONG-LOST HOME. Maryrose talks about how she developed the relationship between author and narrator—twice—and about choosing narrators who could find “that beautiful sweet spot between performing the book in this wildly external way while also preserving the intimacy of the reader’s relationship with the book.” For families looking for the perfect listening experience to share over many hours, The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place has it all—a heroine with pluck, optimism, and good common sense; many character voices, animal sounds, and sea shanties; literary jokes; and plenty of humor that adults will love, too.

Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession- to the praise of his glory.”   Ephesians 1:15–23 “For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.”   Ephesians 2:8–10 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God‘s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.“   Ephesians 2:13 “But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.“   Philippians 1:6 “being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”
