Just before the holiday began, I spoke with a group of students from the Paideia School in Atlanta, GA who had been studying The Good Thief. Their teacher, Greg Chagnon, a talented writer and Sirenland alum, organized a skype talk with the class, where we talked about the different characters, and which actors would be best to play Benjamin and Dolly in the movie (Paideia says Johnny Depp and Vince Vaughn). Later, they emailed me book trailers that they’d made for my novel as part of a class project. Check them out below! Many, many thanks to these talented students, and to Greg for pulling it all together. Now I know who to hire to make the trailer for my next book…

  1. Wonderful way to promote your book! As a selector of juvenile fiction, these trailers have prompted me to purchase the book for our library. Videos are a unique way to “review” a title. Thanks for the creative inspiration for children.
