Kelly Barnhill is known for her gift for sparkling prose, enchanting readers of all ages around the world. But, almost exactly two years ago, the Newbery Award-winner suffered a serious concussion. The author of “The Girl Who Drank the Moon,” “The Ogress and the Orphans” and “When Women were Dragon” says she has no memory of what happened that day. She does know she fell somehow and hit the back of her head. After the accident she realized to her horror she had lost her ability to write. Her recovery has been slow. In November the New York Times published her essay about the experience. She told MPR News' Euan Kerr the brain fog caused by the concussion meant it took months to write the piece.Use the audio player above to listen to the full conversation.Subscribe to the Minnesota Now podcast on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.

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.

It's our celebration of Halloween! For the next two week's we'll be hearing about all kinds of witches. Who says witches and monsters and dragons have to be the bad guys? That's certainly not the case in Kelly Barnhill's 2017 Newbery Award-winning novel THE GIRL WHO DRANK THE MOON. A trio of readers from Woodbridge, Virginia discuss the the power of the moon and how much sorrow children can handle with host Kitty Felde. Writer Kelly Barnhill discusses fake news and how a swamp monster popped into her head out of nowhere. KCRW Morning Edition host Chery Glaser is our celebrity reader. Kitty Felde is host.
It is here, it is here, it is here. For an average length children's novel, this one took us a while to read and review. The Girl Who Drank the Moon is a high fantasy story with enough points of view to rival a George RR Martin tale, and we have some thoughts.

Lyrical and wonderfully written, The Girl Who Drank the Moon weaves a story relatively good to our pearls, although there are certain descriptions and themes that may not be well-suited...
Fairy tales are deceptively simple — “once upon a time” stories, filled with adventure and righteous moral power. But many believe they shouldn't be relegated to the kids' shelf. Writer Neil Gaiman famously said, “Fairy tales are more than true. Not because they tell us that dragons exist. But because they tell us dragons can be beaten.” Novelist Kelly Barnhill knows her way around fairy tales. Her book, “The Girl Who Drank the Moon,” won the prestigious Newberry Medal in 2017. She's out with a new book for middle grade kids, this one also filled with fantastical creatures and children trying to navigate a changing world. But as she writes in the opening, it's about more than that. “This book stated out as a fairy tale, but revealed itself to be a story that asks a specific question: What is a neighbor?' On Friday's Big Books and Bold Ideas, Barnhill joined MPR News host Kerri Miller to talk about her new book, the secrets of fairy tales and how her new novel, “The Ogress and the Orphans,” can speak to kids who are on the cusp of leaving childhood. Guest: Kelly Barnhill is the writer of many books. Her new novel for middle grade students is “The Ogress and the Orphans.” She lives in Minneapolis.
