As we enter the corn maze that is the summer of 2020, with its scary twists and turns, its masked people unexpectedly coming at you around corners, and its seemingly endless dead-ends, it’s nice to find an area wide enough to set up a few beach chairs, open a cooler full of cold drinks, and settle back with a stack of page-turners.

Remember: you’re not lost in a maze; you’ve chosen to get lost in a good book.

The Washington Post’s KidPost Summer Book Club has selected eight books this year for the young and young at heart, and What We Found in the Corn Maze and How It Saved a Dragon happens to be one of them. If you choose to travel the maze with all eight books, you’ll be encountering raccoons, stargazers, tigers, amateur detectives, water bears, fellow pathfinders, and unsung heroes.

Not to mention a dragon or two.

I am honored for my book to be included, especially when I see the company it’s in. The other seven books are wonderful reads. My book is sort of a disreputable uncle who got invited to the party because the host forgot how awful his jokes are. But there it is, and the Post will be discussing Corn Maze on Wednesday, August 19th, awful jokes and all.
