Andy Slinger asked M.L. Tarpley:

What is it about middle grade that attracted you to write in the genre?

M.L. Tarpley Thanks for the great question, Andy! The truth is I still feel like I’m 10 years old a lot of the time (ha!), so it's like ideas for stories geared to kids in middle grade and younger just pop into my brain. I wouldn’t have it any other way! I also have a toddler and over a dozen nieces and nephews, so I have plenty of first hand experience with kids too.
