That’s one of the things I like about writing-the variability. The truth, though, is that I’m not sure that I’ve followed the same process twice, and there’s not really any such thing as a “typical” day. Process? Wait-I’m supposed to have a process? I’d like to begin by noting that The School for Whatnots is your 47 th book! Congratulations! Given your prolific publication history, what is your writing process? Do you write every day for hours on end? Do you work on multiple projects at once? Do you plot out your works, or let the characters take you where the story should go? What does a day in the life of Margaret Peterson Haddix look like? (I know that’s a lot, but I really want to know…J.) The School for Whatnots examines disparity, friendship and parental roles in wanting and teaching what is best, and right, for children. Because Josie wasn’t supposed to be real. But there are forces trying to keep Max and Josie from ever seeing each other again. Josie had also whispered something to Max about “whatnot rules.”īut why would Max ever think that Josie wasn’t real? And what are whatnots?Īs Max sets to uncover what happened to Josie-and what she is or isn’t-little does he know that she’s fighting to find him again, too. But, things change the summer after their fifth grade year, when Josie mysteriously disappears, leaving the note behind. Max and Josie have been best friends since kindergarten. But what the note means is the mystery that lies at the heart of this novel. That’s what the note says that Max finds under his keyboard. No matter what anyone tells you, I’m real. The School For Whatnots is another thrilling page turner for middle grade readers.
