Reach for this book when your child shows a budding interest in media, journalism, or the mechanics of how a creative team brings a big idea to life. Through the Grapevine provides an insider look at the history of Dynamite magazine, the most successful publication in Scholastic history. It chronicles the magazine's journey from its 1974 debut to its status as a cultural touchstone for children of the 70s and 80s. Beyond simple history, the book explores themes of collaboration, editorial vision, and the evolution of pop culture. It is an excellent choice for middle-grade readers (ages 9 to 14) who enjoy nonfiction, biography, or seeing the 'behind-the-scenes' of their favorite entertainment. Parents will appreciate the nostalgic look at icons like M*A*S*H and Julia Roberts, while children will be inspired by the creative risks taken by the editors to make a magazine specifically for kids.
