RAR #67: Reading for the Bigger Story, Jonathan Rogers
About this episode
Hold on to your hats everyone – I am sharing one of my very favorite middle grade series in this episode. I’m chatting with both my daughter Allison and someone who just might be my favorite living author, Jonathan Rogers.
Jonathan is author of the fantastic Winderking series, which has been described as a cross between Tolkien and Twain.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- whether characters in books should serve as role models… or not
- the way stories inspire us to live a better story ourselves
- how Narnia tells more truth than a non-fiction book
Plus, Allison asks Jonathan about writing his trilogy, and he tells a great story about the origin of some of his characters. You don’t want to miss it!
