Book Trailer Premiere – Muddy Max: The Mystery of Marsh Creek by Elizabeth Rusch
Occasionally I’ll premiere a book trailer here or there. Particularly when it’s from a children’s author whose work I admire. If the name “Elizabeth Rusch” is ringing some bells, there may be a reason for that. Back in the day I was a huge fan of her The Mighty Mars Rovers as well as that gorgeous Volcano Rising and For the Love of Music : the remarkable story of Maria Anna Mozart. Now she’s debuting her middle-grade graphic novel Muddy Max: The Mystery of Marsh Creek August 5 with Andrews McMeel/AMP for Kids. Her tech savvy 13-year-old son made her book trailer, which is sweet.
Enjoy!
