13: Books That Change Us

Today we’re joined on the pod by Stella and Mary to talk all about Young Adult books. Stella is a 8th grader who loves books and Mary is a high school librarian at Clover Park High School. Stella and her mom, Lisa Keating, co-facilitate a book club called the Queerest Book Club Ever at King’s Books. Join us for this fun conversation about books that impact us!
