When the Whistle Blows - Book Trailer/Author Video with Fran Cannon Slayton
Midnight rituals. Secret initiations. A father who belongs to a secret society. In WHEN THE WHISTLE BLOWS (Philomel Books/Penguin, June 2009), Jimmy Cannon navigates the mysteries – and changes – that steam through his 1940’s railroad town as he comes toe-to-toe with his stubborn father and his own uncertain future.
Join author Fran Cannon Slayton in a video interview that includes pictures of steam and diesel engines, a discussion of dieselization and economic changes resulting from technological changes, and other background information about When the Whistle Blows.
Excerpts of reviews by authors Richard Peck and Ellen Hopkins are included, along with other reviews by School Library Journal's Diane Chen and Elizabeth Bird.
