Today’s episode is a bit of a departure, because I’m talking to my pal James Kennedy, author of The Order of Odd-Fish and creator of The 90-Second Newbery Film Festival. The festival asks kids to make films inspired by great works of children’s literature, so I thought our listeners might be interested. Here’s all of the info you need: The 90-Second Newbery Festival How to make a 90-Second Newbery film 90-Second Newbery “Best of” James’s Les Miserables video List of Newbery winners James’s website where you can find info about his book The Order of Odd-Fish.

Bonus Episode: The 90-Second Newbery Film Festival and James Kennedy

The Alien Adventures of Finn Caspian is a serialized science-fiction story for kids (start with Episode 1), told in 15-20 minute episodes for parents to put on when driving around town, or to marathon on road trips, or to bond over before bed.
The story centers on Finn Caspian, an 8-year-old boy aboard The Famous Marlowe 280 Interplanetary Exploratory Space Station. He and his friends Abigail, Elias and Vale are Explorers Troop 301, taking off from the Marlowe to explore uncharted planets, help the occasional alien, and solve a mystery that threatens to destroy the Marlowe. When pressed, we describe it as a "mystery gang" story, sort of like Scooby-Doo in space.
The story is written and performed by Jonathan Messinger, author of Hiding Out, former web editor of Time Out Chicago Kids, and father of two boys. His son Griffin, 7, serves as editor of the story, appearing in episodes to critique, make predictions and express skepticism that his father knows what he's talking about, which also happens to be the way the rest of their relationship works.
Produced in partnership with Gen-Z Media. For more great shows, visit GZMshows.com.
