FANS ASK: What inspired you to write about a rat in space?
posted by Michael J. Daley @ 1:44 PM
My most recent book is a departure from my sci-fi middle grades. It is called PINCH AND DASH MAKE SOUP and is an early reader. It is a real delight for me to finally be able to write this kind of book. I fell in love with the form when I first read FROG AND TOAD---when I was an adult! It's also my first book with illustrations and Thomas Yezerski did a stupendous job! Be on the look out for another adventure next spring PINCH AND DASH AND THE TERRIBLE COUCH. SPACE STATION RAT is a book in which an escaped, starving rat; a lonely, bored boy; and an annoyed, deadly robot meet on a space station. Rat's only hope for survival is to make friends with the boy, but he thinks a rat hunt would be cool! Space Station Rat is fast-paced science fiction for ages 8 and older. Michael J. Daley has enjoyed a lifelong love of science and science fiction. He writes his stories on a solar-powered laptop in a five-foot by five-foot tower room. This keeps him well acquainted with the cramped conditions in spaceships and space stations! When not travelling the stars, Michael lives in Westminster, Vermont with his wife, children's author, Jessie Haas.
