In this interview, I talk with Kate Ristau, author of the book Clockbreakers: Asterion’s Curse. This fantasy adventure story features Charlie, a girl who must battle evil in another world to save her father with the help of her friends and a Greek god.

Clockbreakers: Asterion’s Curse has been called “… a time travel book, … a heart travel book, a book about friendship, forgiveness, courage, and the powers waiting to be discovered in each one of us.” Tune in to hear thoughts about the importance of diversity in children’s books, learn how to successfully pair automatons with a Minotaur to build an army, and discover what a folklorist does in her spare time.
