In this week’s episode of The Bookshop at the End of the Internet, author Tim Grove discusses his latest book for middle grade readers titled, Star Spangled: The Story of a Flag, a Battle and the American Anthem. Tim is a public historian with over 25 years’ experience working at history museums, including several Smithsonian museums. Tim uses his background as a historian to teach the historical thinking process and the importance of source material and solid historical evidence when writing nonfiction. Star Spangled is Tim’s fifth book, and his third for middle grade readers. Tim has also written a career memoire titled, A Grizzly in the Mail and Other Adventures in American History, which details some of the more interesting museum projects he was worked on over the years. In this episode, Tim discusses his writing journey, why his book, Star Spangled, is not the story you might expect, and how he really did receive a grizzly bear in the mail.
