Kidlit Love: Conversations with Picture Book & Middle Grade Authors

E98: New Middle Grade Adventure Series: The Doomsday Vault with Thomas Wheeler


Listen Later

On this episode of the KidLit Love podcast, I’m talking with Thomas Wheeler about the first book in his new middle grade series: Everwhen School of Time Travel and Other Odd Sciences: The Doomsday Vault. 

This book is an action-packed, truly unique time-and-place experience that is sure to hook middle grade readers with its fun action and the deeper themes threaded throughout. 

Come listen as we talk about Thomas’s journey to children’s literature, the inspiration behind the book and the ‘eat your vegetables’ writing it required. As Thomas says in the episode, science and imagination can be friends and this book proves that in the most delightful way.
