In our newest Storyteller Spotlight, author Rex Ogle read from Free Lunch, his new book about three middle school students who find support in one another as they face life’s challenges. “I write these books to help kids see that they’re not alone.”

Mackin Educational Resources @mackinlibrary.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Q: What inspired you to start writing? ✍️ A: When Rex Ogle was young, he felt lonely and found comfort in reading. He loved that stories let him escape into new worlds and, as a writer, gave him control over the story and the chance to create the happy endings he wanted. 📚

Q: How do you overcome writer’s block? A: Ask questions! Katherine Rundell says questions are easier than answers. Try writing five “What if...?” questions in five minutes, then pick your favorite and start writing from there. ✍️📚

Q: What’s your advice to young writers? Katherine Rundell: Start writing now! If you think you might want to be a writer, don’t wait. Start writing now so that, when you’re older, you can look back and see what your imagination looked like when you were younger. ✍️📚

Mackin Educational Resources @mackinlibrary.bsky.social · 17/09/2026
