Last week I shared the first part of our interview with Gary D. Schmidt talking about Orbiting Jupiter. This week we have the conclusion. Hear Gary talk about:
- his interpretation of the Orbiting Jupiter cover.
- his love of the typewriter.
- why Anita Silvey yelled at him.
- his admiration for the writing bravery of Kate DiCamillo.

About Travis Jonker
Travis,
You really should have had Gary speak of some of his other covers! Nice job on this one too! I am meeting Gary for crumpets tomorrow afternoon. I will be sure to ask him about this.
Thanks, Ed – enjoy the crumpets with Mr. Schmidt!
