Nicholas Day spoke with PW about his latest work of narrative nonfiction for young readers, ‘A World Without Summer: A Volcano Erupts, A Creature Awakens, and the Sun Goes Out,’ and the story’s genesis

Bob the Vampire is now out and about. He’s also honored to be Amazon’s Best Kid’s Book for August, ages 3 to 7! Here’s a link to get your copy bit.ly/4oqyJGC

Wow. Nicolas Day is becoming my favorite nonfiction writer. A World Without Summer is brilliant. Somehow he seamlessly is able to connect things in the world that may appear to be unrelated. An 1815 volcano, the writing of Frankenstein, and what is happening in the world today….Seriously!!?? 🤯

★ Nicholas Day and illustrator Yas Imamura “chronicle the story of Mount Tambora’s 1815 volcanic eruption” in their “intense” middle grade nonfiction collaboration, A WORLD WITHOUT SUMMER: A VOLCANO ERUPTS, A CREATURE AWAKENS, AND THE SUN GOES OUT

★ Picture book BOB THE VAMPIRE SNAIL by Andrea Zuill “is a work that young readers can sink their teeth into” that’s “delivered with Mad magazine–worthy laughs”
