Newbery Medalist Paul Fleischman reflects on his childhood with his
award-winning father, Sid Fleischman, and details his own path to
becoming a writer in this memorable book that is part memoir, part
travelogue, and part reflection on craft and creativity.
No Map, Great Trip is an excellent choice for aspiring authors,
language arts classrooms, and fans of Gail Carson Levine's Writing
Magic.
Acclaimed author Paul Fleischman considers how growing up with a father
who was an award-winning author helped to shape and inspire his own
career. Paul and Sid Fleischman are the only father-son Newbery
Medalists in history, and life in the Fleischman home was extraordinary.
Readers will feel like part of the family in this humorous and
aspirational chronicle.
Paul Fleischman is the author of the Newbery Award-winning Joyful
Noise and the classroom classic Seedfolks, as well as many other
acclaimed and beloved titles. His books are taught and performed in
classrooms across the country.
Part memoir, part travelogue (young Paul travels from California to New
Hampshire by himself), part writing book, and part reflection on art and
creativity, this inspirational book includes black-and-white
photographs, as well as writing tips and prompts just right for budding
authors. No Map, Great Trip is a great gift for young writers,
language arts teachers, and fans of Jack Prelutsky's Pizza, Pigs, and
Poetry and Ralph Fletcher's A Writer's Notebook.
