On Monday, Jack Gantos won the Newbery Medal, the highest award in children’s literature, for his novel Dead End in Norvelt. He’s also written the Rotten Ralph series for kids, several novels … oh, and a memoir about the 18 months he spent in a federal penitentiary on drug-smuggling charges. (We don’t know if that one had pictures.)

We’ve invited Gantos to play a game called “Oh, darling! Take me in your arms!” Three questions about Harlequin romance novels. [Copyright 2012 National Public Radio]
