Trying to quickly summarize the writing career of M.T. Anderson is nearly impossible.  A children’s book author, he has created stories for younger readers to young adults.  His topics range from futuristic dystopias (Feed) to picture books about a historical sighting of a sea serpent (The Serpent Came to Gloucester) to graphic novels about knights (Yvain).  His most recent book, Elf Dog and Owl Head recounts the adventures of a kid who is trying to entertain himself during the pandemic, who happens across a very unusual dog and a whole different world in the woods by his house.  Elf Dog and Owl Head was selected for a Newbery Honor Award this year.

M.T. Anderson will be visiting the Craftsbury Public Library on Monday, May 13 at 1:45 to talk about his book and the craft of writing.  All are welcome to attend this free public event.  The library is also hosting a book discussion of Elf Dog and Owl Head on May 7 at 4:30pm.  Books are available to borrow at the library, and pizza will be provided during the book discussion.
