James Howe is the author of more than 70 books, including the popular series, Bunnicula.  He has written several series for young readers, including the Sebastian Barth Mystery series and the Pinky and Rex series, and picture books like There’s a Monster Under My Bed.  

During the program, Howe explains how he makes the transition from picture books to chapter books to “coming of age” stories for middle school students. The author offers viewers tips on character development and organizing ideas, and answers questions from students.
