NIGHTSTAND
I choose sophisticated topics, and I'm aiming toward early readers, so I'd say many times that has happened. It's been a challenge. I remember once I asked a class of children to raise their hand if they'd be interested in a book called Show Time With Shakespeare. Don't you know, nobody raised their hand. So, I thought about what children would relate to. I came up with stage fright. I changed the title to Stage Fright on a Summer Night and had a great time writing it. [Jack] and Annie, the characters, were cast as fairies in A Midsummer Night's Dream.
