The one book I can’t stop thinking about… FEED, by M.T. The book that made me want to become an author – that would be a four-way tie between CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY, JAWS, LORD OF THE RINGS, and LORD OF THE FLIES. Quick lightning round! Tell us the first book you ever remember reading, the one that made you want to become an author, and one that you can’t stop thinking about!įirst book I remember reading would be FOX IN SOX – which I still think I have entirely memorized. When I was in 9 th grade, I really began to feel “writerly.” I had an English teacher who challenged me to write stories every month for extra credit, and by the end of that school year, I kind of got to be known as “the kid who writes,” and it stuck. When did you first discover your love for writing? Well, I’ve somehow managed to make an entire career out of making stuff up, which I still find amazing. I’ve published 50 books, and hopefully have another fifty left in me. They vary in genre, but they’re all stories that challenge readers to think, from a surreal take on mental illness in CHALLENGER DEEP, which won the National Book Award, to the consequences of immortality, in the ARC OF A SCYTHE series. Hi, Neal! Can you tell our readers a bit about yourself? We chat with author Neal Shusterman about his latest release Gleanings, which sees the New York Times bestselling Arc of the Scythe series continue with thrilling stories that span the timeline.
