A podcast about young adult lit and what it can teach us at any age. Join us as we review new releases, revisit old classics, bring you hot lists, hotter casting choices, and more!
Kadi and Teffer round off the month with a gorgeous new release. This is the first time we’ve reviewed a graphic novel on the show! We talk about history, reparations, and the developing Indigenous representation we hope to see in YA lit going forward. Also, we’re tired. Are you tired? This year has been rough. We talk about that, too.
