We cannot even begin to contain the excitement we have to share this episode with you. We had the pleasure of interviewing author Ruta Sepetys about her journey as a writer and her latest novel, I Must Betray You.

The interview begins with Ruta reading an excerpt from I Must Betray You. This is the perfect clip to play for your students if you practice “First Chapter Friday”! 

Then we delve into Ruta’s decision to write for young adults and her choice to focus on historical fiction. She believes that this genre has the power to bring fading pieces of history to life and connect readers to the human experiences of the past - and we couldn’t agree more. 

We hope you enjoy this interview as much as we did. If you do, please share with a teacher friend! Don’t forget to tune into episode 153 for part two of this conversation.
