Does anyone in high school really know themselves?  That’s one of the subjects explored — via laughter — by this week’s guest Ben Philippe, who dropped by our studio to talk about his wonderful debut novel The Field Guide to the North American Teenager.  It’s  the story of a sharp-tongued and cynical black French Canadian boy who is transplanted to a Texas high school —  with appropriately complicated, and often hilarious results.   It's one of Barnes & Noble's Discover Great New Writers selections for Spring 2019, and the author was joined this week in the studio by Discover director Miwa Messer, sitting in for our regular host Melissa Albert.
