What happens when you're the oldest daughter of a hat-making family, destined for no fairytale adventures and cursed by a glamorous witch? Strike out your own fortune! Lisa Jenn Bigelow, author of Starting from Here and the upcoming Drum Roll, Please, joins us this Frienduary to talk terrible boys with magic powers, the undeniable gift of aging gracefully, and shouting as witchcraft. Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones had us laugh, cry, and thank Calcifer we never had J.R.R. Tolkein as a professor.
