Summary
Zibby interviews National Book Award-winning and bestselling author Julia Glass about her brilliant new novel Vigil Harbor. Julia talks about her unique cast of interconnected characters (some of which reappear from earlier books), the intimidating challenge of working with fantastical and speculative elements for the first time, and the pressing global issues spotlighted in the novel. She also gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the audiobook process and reveals who some of the voice actors are! (Remember Three Junes? It won the National Book Award and Zibby absolutely loved it!)
