Ghostwriter: Princess Mapp, Daire McLeod & Nour Assaf

A reimagining of the 1992 hit series from Sesame Workshop, the modern-day Ghostwriter maintains a city-based, multicultural cast, inviting children ages 6-11 to see themselves on screen as they learn to appreciate a range of new and classic literature.

Starring Princess Mapp, Nour Assaf and Daire McLeod, Risen talked with them about books explored like Wizard of Oz, Mouse on a Motorcycle and Charlotte’s web. The overall theme of justice and the personal journey the characters take, racism and more.
