Author Interview: Ilsa Bick

Ilsa Bick is the definition of cool; she’s ex-air force and knows how to survive in the wilderness, is a child psychiatrist by day, and has written 15 books in her “spare time.” Plus, she describes herself as “peripatetic”-an awesome vocabulary word I had to look up (it means one who wanders from place to place).

 Ilsa-Bick-Books-Author-Interview

Bick’s novels are full of action, interesting details, strong characters and unique plotlines. I’m fascinated by all that she has accomplished; I’d definitely want her on my team for a wilderness expedition or a writing competition!

What I liked best about Bick’s interview was how she justified a new use of an old word, and says that’s why you need to know your words—so you know enough to play! 

What a great idea to share with your students at the start of your vocabulary instruction or your writing instruction-enjoy!
