In this episode of The Growing Readers Podcast, host Bianca Schulze sits down with award-winning author and illustrator Philip C. Stead to talk about A Potion, a Powder, a Little Bit of Magic: Or, Like Lightning in an Umbrella Storm, his uproarious debut middle grade novel from Neal Porter Books.Best known as the Caldecott Medal–honored creator behind the Amos McGee books, Philip shares what it felt like to step into the novelist's chair and why middle grade has always been the genre closest to his heart. He traces his love of books like The Phantom Tollbooth, The Westing Game, and Roald Dahl, and pulls back the curtain on his writing process—200 words a day, carved in stone—and the feedback that led him to tell Bernadette's story out of order.Whether you're a parent hunting for funny middle grade books for kids 9–12, an educator drawn to stories that trust young readers, or a writer curious about how a picture book creator builds his first novel, this episode is a celebration of heart, humor, and why every choice matters.Read the transcript on The Children's Book Review (coming soon).Highlights:From Picture Books to Middle Grade: Why Philip felt like an "imposter" stepping into the novelist's chair—and why middle grade has always been his first love as a readerThe Books That Made Him a Reader: How Roald Dahl, Norton Juster's The Phantom Tollbooth, and Ellen Raskin's The Westing Game shaped his sense of what a book can do200 Words a Day: Philip's deceptively simple writing practice and how he treated each word as if "carved in stone"The Out-of-Order Revelation: How one friend's honest feedback unlocked the book's unusual structure—and why he never looked backA Castle on 24 Goats: Where Bernadette, Adelbert the forgetful magician, and a Boat That Does Not Grant Wishes actually came from24 Chapters, 24 Morals: Why Philip gave himself this arbitrary boundary, and the throwaway phrase that became his favorite of them allHeart Over Cleverness: The guiding principle that kept the book from feeling "cute but dead"The Influence Nobody Knows: The lesser-known Norton Juster book Philip discovered at 19 that became the most important influence of his careerNotable Quotes:"A thing stored in the brain is never as important as a thing stored in the heart." — from A Potion, a Powder, a Little Bit of Magic"Cleverness belongs mostly to the maker and really can't belong much to the person experiencing the art. But heart really can." — Philip C. Stead"If you're a writer and you're listening to this, just figure out how you write and how you do it. How do you put one word in front of another, in front of another? And whatever that answer is, that's the right way to do it." — Philip C.

Let's Chat!!Boo, bitches!This week's mini cauldron of chaos asks a very important question: If you call your drink a potion… does that make it a ritual?We're diving into wine witching, intentional crafting, and the very real difference between a magical moment and an emotional support beverage with a backstory.Because yes—drinks can be spells. But no—adding lemon does not automatically make it “for clarity.”Let's talk intention, presence, and when it's okay to just… have the drink.Support the showUntil then, Stay Witchy!!River's Etsy Store: www.batsandbaublesinc.etsy.comWebsite: www.c3witchypodcast.comMerch: www.c3witchypodcastmerch.comOur wonderful logo is done by: www.nellamarinadraws.etsy.comIntro and Outro Audio:podcast intro & outro music:Góða Nótt by Alexander NakaradaLink: https://filmmusic.io/song/4754-g-a-n-ttLicense: https://filmmusic.io/standard-liceSound from Zapsplat.com – Witches Cauldrons bubbling
Send us Fan MailGranny Gigglesnort is busy at her iron cauldron, stirring up a liquid that gloops and glurped. Today is the day she perfects her Polymorph Potion—the brew of becoming! One sip, and her brave volunteer, Stanky, should be able to transform into any creature he wishes. But as it turns out, shape-shifting is a lot harder than it looks! Stanky tries to visualize majestic creatures, but the results are a bit... surprising:The Rhino: Stanky wants to be a silver-horned unicorn, but he turns into a heavy, grey Rhinoceros that smashes the kitchen table! The Turkey: Stanky tries for a noble Griffin, but ends up as a wobbly, confused Turkey with a long, red wattle. The "B-Grade" Chimera: Stanky attempts to become a legendary Chimera, but becomes a horrificulous mess with a poodle body, a chicken head, a rat head, and a frog for a tail! Granny feels like a failure and almost hangs up her witch's hat, but Stanky reminds her of her own wise words: "Fall down seven times, stand up eight!" He encourages her not to give up, even after three "zoos of accidents". In this kids story podcast episode, Granny tries one more time with a shimmering Dragon Scale for stability. Watch as her eighth attempt finally takes flight, teaching us all that failure isn't the end, it's just the first step toward becoming a dragon!Support the show

Let's Chat!!Spring has entered the chat… and she chose chaos.In this mini episode of Potion in a Pinch, we're serving up witchy spring potions for glow-ups, fresh starts, and surviving whatever pollen is currently trying to end us.From floral cocktails that make you feel like a forest deity (for five minutes) to non-alcoholic elixirs for “new life, but make it low effort,” these quick potions are perfect for witches blooming, spiraling, or doing both at the same time.Because sometimes growth looks like transformation… and sometimes it looks like reorganizing one drawer and needing a reward.Sip, stir, and maybe emotionally recover.Support the showUntil then, Stay Witchy!!River's Etsy Store: www.batsandbaublesinc.etsy.comWebsite: www.c3witchypodcast.comMerch: www.c3witchypodcastmerch.comOur wonderful logo is done by: www.nellamarinadraws.etsy.comIntro and Outro Audio:podcast intro & outro music:Góða Nótt by Alexander NakaradaLink: https://filmmusic.io/song/4754-g-a-n-ttLicense: https://filmmusic.io/standard-liceSound from Zapsplat.com – Witches Cauldrons bubbling
Simon has taken the news that Yumi started introducing a tiny bit of her digestive nemesis - GARLIC - into her diet, and he's run with it.Inspired by the recipe from Gizzi Erskine's seminal cookbook, SLOW, Simon has a way to do garlic that is pretty magical and also, supremely easy.Tumble 4-5 whole bulbs of garlic with the tops sliced off into a tiny saucepan. Cover it with good quality olive oil.Add herbs like rosemary, thyme to the oil IF YOU WANT.Gently and slowly cook until bubbles are forming around the bulbs - for 20-30 mins. Strictly DO NOT BOIL.Remove the garlic cloves. They are available to be used as a condiment, smooshed onto toast, blended through a salad dressing or part of a bean gratin.The oil, once cooled, can be used to flavour anything at all ...with fewer digestive complaints! And NO, Simon did *not* provide the show notes he said he would. However, we will do a whole episode on the Bean Gratin he mentions. Next! On your 5 Minute Food Fix. xxx Hosted on Acast.

Join me as I review The Thieves’ Guild by Jeff Crook live! Share your thoughts on this second novel in the Dragonlance Crossroads series, released by Wizards of the Coast on December 1, 2000. You can buy a copy here: https://amzn.to/49nFYto https://youtube.com/live/qMIRuk1R5lE About The Thieves’ Guild Palanthas, Jewel of Ansalon, City of Seven Circles, heart of the old Solamnic empire. For three thousand years she has shone as a becaon to the world. Even now, ruled by the Knights of Neraka, she glitters in the night. Yet at the core of the gleaming city lies a dark center: the Thieves’ Guild. Though the Dark Knights ruthlessly crushed the guild beneath an iron heel, a stronger, darker guild has arisen. Now it’s intent on recovering its lost treasures and power. And nothing will stand in its way. Review Intro Welcome to another DragonLance Saga review episode. It is Palast, Newkolt the 19th. My name is Adam and today I am going to give you my review of The Thieves’ Guild by Jeff Crook. I would like to take a moment and thank the DLSaga members and Patreon patrons, and invite you to consider becoming a member or patron. You can even pick up Dragonlance media or get $10 by signing up to StartPlaying.Games using my affiliate links. This is my perspective only, and if you have any thoughts or disagree with mine, I invite you to share them in YouTube chat. Review This is such a well written story thus far. We are presented with Palanthas under the rule of the Knights of Takhisis. They have routed the Thieves Guild, murdering them all, nearly, in one night. Years later a wealthy merchant has a shipment of a rare herb powder arriving that was paid for by Mistress Jenna of the Red Robes. This powder comes from the Dragon Isles and is very expensive. It is naturally a target for thieves. As Cael Oronstaff infiltrates the merchants home during his Spring Dawning eve party, he comes across another thief who already has the substance. He takes it from Alynthia Krath-Mal, a high ranking thief in the new thieves guild, and escapes. The next day the Lord High Justice, Sir Arach Jannon, a Thorn Knight, arrives to investigate as does Jenna. They discover the thief used magic and killed another thief. They believe it is an associate of a blacksmith that recently rebarred the merchant’s windows. The Spring Dawning festival proceeds with Cael visiting his dwarven friend Kharzog. They go to the festival together and hear Sir Elstone Kinsaid, the Lord Knight of Palanthas read a declaration from Sir Morham Targonne, the Lord of Knight. He declares the Knights of Takhisis are now the Knights of Neraka. No one seems to care, and the festival continues unabated. Cael is confronted by Alynthia and a band of thieves who chase him into the sewers and eventually capture him. He is brought before Mulciber, the Thief Guild's master and sentenced to death for stealing from them and selling it to someone else. As Cael is responsible for other thieves’ deaths, Alynthia requests to own him and train him to be guild thief. THey eventually agrees on the provision he can steal the Potion of Shonlay for the guild. She agrees and they disperse. Sir Kinsaid commands Sir Jannon to find this Cael thief and deliver him so Mistress Jenna will leave him alone. Weeks later, Cael has been training with the Thieves Guild, learning how to work with their tactics. He is sent on a test in the sewers, to the heart of Palanthas, which is an old dwarven home, Cold Forge or Kal Thax as they call it. Within they have to pass a series of tests to fully join the guild, but only a few have ever passed them. THey get split up as the Knights are searching for Cael in the tunnels, and he and one of the thieves sneak into a beast’s lair, who kills his partner and he kills it in return, discovering the secret door. He is denied entry by Alynthia who admonishes him for leaving the group he was sent in here with and ending with a dead partner. Mistress Jenna meets Arach Jannon to tell him the Thieves Guild is set to raid her store, and while he adamantly denies there is a Thieves Guild, he agrees to ambush the intruders. As the thieves enter for the potion of Shonlay, their attempt is thwarted by Jenna’s magic and they narrowly escape, with Cael and Alynthia being chased around the city by the Lord high Justice and his men. They are consistently on their tail. They enter shoikan grove to hide, then end up sneaking out of the old town and splitting up. Alynthia is caught by the knights and Cael saves her by running them off. As she goes to flee, the alley erupts, attacking the knights. As Cael tries to escape he is caught and sentenced to death by slow torture. He is imprisoned in the dungeons. He is rescued a month later by the gnome Gimzig and Alynthea. As they are escaping in the sewers, Gimzig is attacked and pulled under water by a sewer beast and Alynthia takes the unconscious Cael to a safehouse. He is sick and unconscious for another month. When he wakes he learns the Thieves Guild labeled them both traitors and are looking for them, as are the Knights of Neraka. Alynthia is convinced if they find a treasure named the reliquary they could earn their way back into the Thieves Guild. Caels doesn’t care, but he swears to help her get it if she helps him get his staff which was taken by Sir Jannon. They break into the Great Library and have Berem show them to the volumes about recovered treasure from years past, in hopes the Reliquary will be annotated. It is not. With nothing to go off of, they turn to retrieving Cael's staff. They break into Jannon’s office and take the staff, inadvertently starting a fire. THey see Mulciber sneak into the keep and they follow him to see it’s actually Alynthia's husband, Captain Oros. It turns out he was behind the fall of the guild years ago and he’s about to make a deal with the Knights to have it fall again if he can keep some treasure. Alynthia refuses to believe it and a dragon spots them, and chases them out of town and into the bay. It leaves them for dead as they slink into a tavern and coincidentally find a childhood protector of Alynthia thought dead who confirms Oros' treasury. She demands to see him face to face and when they search his office they find a note about treasure being transferred to his ship. They go to the ship and find the reliquary and Oros and his minotaur Kolav attack them both. Cael defends the reliquary running into the city and is rescued by the gnome Gimzig! They defeat Kolov and Janon arrives, only to be killed by Kael. Meanwhile Alynthia is brought before the guild and sentenced to death by Mulciber, but then Mulciber counteracts the order, revealing there to have never been a mulciber, as Cael stands there. The guild turns against Oros and captures him. With the guild back in order, and their immediate enemies taken care of, Cael leaves to steal the founders stone and affix it to his dwarven friends gravestone. The knights ask Jenna to get it off the stone, but she refuses saying she isn’t able. But secretly she believes it belongs there. This was a good story, but the time shifts were erratic. Crook clearly realised he had to wrap it all up in a hurry and the third act is just one resolution after the other with contrived solutions and meetings, belying credulity. I did enjoy the story overall, and the suggestion that Cael is Tanis Half-Elven and a sea elf’s son, even having a dragon slaying weapon like his supposed fathers. But ultimately I just have this as fun head canon rather than reality. In any case, if you love Dragonlance, you should definitely read this novel, and if you really like thief stories, you will probably dig this one as well. So give it a read! Outro And that's it for my review of The Thieves’ Guild by Jeff Crook. When do you think of Cael being Tanis' son? Do you like magical artifacts being used in stories like this? And finally, should the Thieves Guild have a happy ending? Feel free to email me at info@dlsaga.com or leave a comment below.

Co Owner of the Wing It/ Sip It chain Bernardo Baxter joins us to speak on starting a business, life of a young go getter, shenanigan stories and much more.
The living do not belong in the underworld. But all the paths of escape are horrific, save for one…the mushroom. Genre: Mythology Excerpt: There were a number of ways for the passage to be made—flesh-wrenching spells, maps that could only be read by those who had spent a lifetime studying magic, or aid given by the sovereign's own siblings to some favored mortal, all of which were giving way to a new and much easier means…mushrooms. What story or stories am I revisiting in this episode? Each Season 8 episode is a standalone story, but it's connected to or inspired by a previous story through a character, a place, an object, a concept, a continuation of events (ahem, sequel), and so on. Two stories inspired this one. One where a wizard uses a special mushroom to brew a rare spell, “A Potion of Uncertain Fortune.” And another where a young man on a quest wakes up in the middle of a fairy ring, that is, a ring of mushrooms, “The Isle of Mist and Gloom.” MY FIRST BOOK (yay)Ever wonder how I've gotten all these hundreds of stories written? I have a method. And I talk all about it in my book called Fictioneer's Field Guide: A Game Plan for Writing Short Stories. It's now available from Amazon as an eBook, paperback, and hardcover. You can also get there from my Store page: STORYFEATHER STORE The Store page also has sign-up forms for my two email newsletters: Storyfeather Gazette (if you'd like to keep up with the fiction I create) Fictioneer's Field Guide (if you'd like writing tips and guidance from me) Choose what you want.

And nobody talks about the full motion video game that Dale made during a Global Game Jam during the topic on video content, where they talked extensively about FMV games. Don't worry! Dale edited this episode and linked the game in the show notes below. ;)Lydia played some Dutch gamesGeharrewar in de Sushi-bar - Board Game GeekPort Royale - Board Game GeekStephen is very excited about Kirby Air Riders.

Enjoy!Use the Dang Potion!The reasons Lydia doesn't use the Potion:1) She might need it (more) later, I don't want to waste it2) Everything could matterAnd more reasons:3) Things are power in a power fantasy game, and it's hard to give up power 4) Potions feel like an assist mode, because you want to be better than that 5) Gambler's funCombatting the natural emotional response for players to keep their stuffMake stuff very abundant, and add use ware (like Zelda Breath of the Wild) Add narrative context that the intention is to sell it for in game money (like in Spirit Farer) Add explicit indicators that an item is required for a quest.Create items that are specific to a single purpose.Discourage gathering more items by making them annoying to collect
Let's Chat!!Boo Bitches!!In this mini-episode of C3: Crystals, Cauldrons & Cocktails, I'm serving up fast potion recipes that work whether you're tipsy, sober, or just magically dehydrated.From tropical cauldron cocktails to crystal-cleanser mocktails, there's something for every witch's chalice.Stir clockwise for attraction, counterclockwise for banishing, and if you spill it? That's just the universe saying, “hydrate, witch" or ... "make another potion!"Whether you're sipping booze or bubbles, remember: it's all about the intention… but let's be real, it's also about the drink.Bottoms up, bitches—mocktail or cocktail, your potion is waiting.intro music:"Adventures in Adventureland" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Support the showUntil then, Stay Witchy!!River's Etsy Store: www.batsandbaublesinc.etsy.comWebsite: www.c3witchypodcast.comMerch: www.c3witchypodcastmerch.comOur wonderful logo is done by: www.nellamarinadraws.etsy.comIntro and Outro Audio:podcast intro & outro music:Góða Nótt by Alexander NakaradaLink: https://filmmusic.io/song/4754-g-a-n-ttLicense: https://filmmusic.io/standard-liceSound from Zapsplat.com – Witches Cauldrons bubbling

In this episode Sascha and I explore what it's like to interact with reality mediated by different kinds of brains. We realized that one good way to describe our current experience is this: Sascha is a potion mage and I am a potion. This feels just right to me. I revel in her jars and shelves, feel grateful for my tremendous luck this time around and move off in the world more self aware and oriented.Along the way we discuss lions and panthers, spiders and iguanas, orb creatures, horses and Melon bank.We hope you find some expansiveness in this romp through a few of the endless ways to be consciously incarnate.
With their loyal footman lost to them, the party must make a difficult choice. Zara volunteers. Verrol has all the marbles. Kardain beseeches the earth spirits.

Rumors of a zombie potion made their way to 1980s Boston, where an ethnobotanist hoping to uncover the concoction found himself enmeshed in a secret society and face-to-face with a real zombie.
