It's no coincidence that Dom Testa's Galahad book series centers on 251 of the best and brightest kids on Earth (and beyond). The Big Brain Club founder has long been a believer in bringing out the best in young people, in real life and on the printed page. After all, that's what the Big Brain Club is all about -- not necessarily that everyone has to be a straight-A student all the time, but that it's okay to be the best version of yourself. It's okay to be smart, and to pay attention in school, and to avoid the peer pressure to constantly dumb down.
With that in mind, it's interesting to watch this interview and hear Dom talk about the writing process, what advice he gives to aspiring young authors... and some of the unlikely questions he gets from fans of the book series.
Watch the video, post a review, and share it with your friends. And remember: there is now a cross-curricular lesson plan available for teachers who want to use The Comet's Curse as a tool for engaging their teen and 'tween students in fun and educational projects.
