Hello My Happy People,
Today I am sharing my chat with award-winning author Rebecca Caprara to discuss her journey from architecture to authorship and how an unexpected library design project inspired her to begin writing. We talk about finding her voice as a novelist, writing in verse, creating stories that connect with young readers, and why books can make such a lasting impact on children, especially those who may be reluctant readers.
We also take a closer look at Rebecca's newest middle grade novel-in-verse, Eva to the Max. The story follows twelve-year-old motocross racer Eva as she navigates competition, friendship, bullying, and the challenges of pursuing a passion in a male-dominated sport. Rebecca shares her process, her approach to developing authentic characters, and why themes of determination, resilience, and self-confidence are so important for young readers.
Whether you're a parent, grandparent, teacher, librarian, or simply someone who enjoys discovering talented authors and outstanding books, this conversation offers plenty of insight into the writing process and the power of storytelling. Be sure to check the links below for more information about Rebecca, her books, and where you can purchase Eva to the Max.
