Jeff Kinney in the Hot Seat: A Video Interview of 21 Questions for a 21st Book
How do you interview a massively successful children’s book creator when he has not his first, not his second, but his twenty-first book coming out? Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Fight or Flight is out October 20th and in celebration I decided to hit the man with 21 distinctly silly questions. Flight or invisibility? Is a hot dog a sandwich? Cats or dogs? Only the hardest of the hard hitting questions are good enough for this video interview. And Jeff, a.k.a. The Nicest Man on the Planet, was willing to answer them all.
Enjoy!
