Children's and young-adult staple Kate DiCamillo has finally come to Thalia Kids' Book Club! This time it is to discuss her new book The Magician's Elephant. In this episode, DiCamillo chats with Rita Wolf about everything from her favorite books to how she began her writing career.

Expected this to be the full book but it isn’t. Was trying to find out about the story for a musical coming out this year. Complete waste of money.
