Skeleton Tree by Kim Ventrella5/13/2023 ![]() In second grade, I entered my version of Roald Dahl’s story “The Landlady” in a writing contest and won second place. Tell us a little about how you got started writing? I also love books that help me understand the world in new and surprising ways, like Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials trilogy. I love discovering a story world that I want to inhabit long after the book ends. When I was younger, I adored Roald Dahl, Shel Silverstein, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, Bunnicula, biographies and Agatha Christie. I’ve always had an eclectic taste in books. ![]() When did that love start and who/what helped that passion for reading grow? Knowing that you are a librarian and a writer, I feel confident saying you must love books. I'd like to start with a couple questions about you, so the reader can get to know you a little. I really enjoyed the book and loved the characters. ![]() It is exciting seeing Skeleton Tree pop up in so many places on social media! I just finished reading it this past weekend, and let me give you a well-deserved congratulation on a well-written, touching book. Published by Scholastic Press, it was released in October. It is a finely tuned story exploring life, love, families and friendships, and the stirrings of the heart which define them all. Kim Ventrella is the author of Skeleton Tree, a children’s book about what happens when you find, and believe in, the unexpected. ![]()
