@Br_Sophocles @RobertDHoosier @zerohedge If you are referring to the photo above, that's me celebrating the 4th of July. 10 years old?

@RobertDHoosier @zerohedge Is that image from Freak the Mighty? 😆

@LevineLovesLit @oms_bulldogs Very impressive classroom display! Thanks!

@PLOstyle_X I'm glad you enjoyed them!

Oops, I put Ryan Fielding Garrett's name in the wrong order. Ryan, forgive me!

[Rodman Philbrick @RodmanPhilbrick]

Anthony! FYI I went back and corrected Ryan's name in the correct order. Happy summer.

At last I am able to share some fantastic news. Freak the Mighty has been adapted into a musical. There is an open casting call for young actors to play Max and Kevin, with a two-week workshop late in the year, followed by a premiere at an as yet undetermined regional theater.

[Rodman Philbrick @RodmanPhilbrick]

Much too soon to say this is headed to Broadway, but that’s the intention of the producers, if all goes well. Book and lyrics by Anthony Drewe, music by Ryan Garrett Fielding, directed by Christopher Ashley. Casting call is from the Telsey Office.

@LynnPlourde @BashBath Hey Lynn! Thanks for the kind words regarding 'We Own the Sky. Next time we cross paths we'll have a chin wag for sure.

@aresluoga Also starring Elden Henson as Max! Thanks Andre!

[Rodman Philbrick @RodmanPhilbrick]

@LynnPlourde @BashBath We'll chat for sure next time we're in the same place. Lynn, I so appreciate your kind words!

[Rodman Philbrick @RodmanPhilbrick]

@Dr_B_Freako Hi Hazel. A quick search makes it look like this is out of print in paperback. Alas, the publishers do not consult with me about such decisions!

[Rodman Philbrick @RodmanPhilbrick]

@spooloflies Pretty sure it's available on most cable and streaming services. Just checked Prime and they have it for rent. Good luck!

[Rodman Philbrick @RodmanPhilbrick]

@spooloflies I'm with you in wishing they had used the original title.

[Rodman Philbrick @RodmanPhilbrick]

@AntsDrewe Thanks, Anthony!

I recently attended the award ceremony at the New-York Historical Society. They selected 'We Own the Sky as the best children's historical novel for 2022. On the left, that's me with Scholastic's Emily Seife, who edited the book. On the right, Alice Stevenson presented the medal.
