Voyage of the Dogs by Greg van Eekhout Dogs in space Share this book with middle graders who enjoy stories about dogs. I think those are things most readers want, regardless of age.Ī: I pretty much can’t not talk about my dogs. I want the things they felt while reading my story to stick with them after they’ve finished the last page. I want to give them opportunities to think their own thoughts about the worlds and themes and characters I’m writing about. Q: What is the hardest part of writing for a younger audience versus your adult fantasy series?Ī: I find writing for the different audiences equally challenging. Also, I find the true hero dog stories interesting. It made sense to give the dogs heroes as well. Q: Why did you want to incorporate true hero dog stories?Ī: People have heroes, or at least people who inspire us and give us courage and hope.
