Author Interview: Patrick Carman

By: Vocab Gal

 Patrick Carman is a truly amazing and prolific author!  He has three series of books where kids go online at certain points during their reading to watch videos and listen to audio files in order to figure out the mystery, which I find a totally amazing approach to get nonreaders to read and keep them hooked!  His first two series, Skeleton Creek and Trackers, were huge successes and his most recent series-Dark Eden, involves audio files, videos, and you can even get an app for the book! 

While you would think he would be a totally ubercool, above Vocab Gal’s radar kind of guy, he’s actually an amazingly laid back author from Walla Walla, Washington, who took the time for a quick interview. 

His insightful answers about why words are more important than ever before really drove home my mission, and I think you’ll enjoy sharing the video, and his awesome books, with your students!
