Rooted in the Pacific Northwest but not limited by geography, Northwest Book Talk
A boy who befriends a spider, a young mink on the run, and a girl growing up in Portland—Tiffany Dickinson’s stories give young readers plenty to discover.
In this conversation with Patty Grasher, the Pacific Northwest author introduces Kaleidoscope, set in Portland in 1980, and The Golden Web, about a boy with leukemia and an unexpected friendship. We explore how her middle-grade fiction blends imagination with honest portrayals of family, belonging, and difficult experiences.
Tiffany shares how her nursing background informs her storytelling, why friendships matter so much to her characters, and how school librarians helped her become a reader. She also offers a peek at a developing mystery series whose young detective begins her adventures aboard a cruise ship.
For readers, parents, and grandparents seeking children’s books with adventure, courage, and heart.
