Have you ever wanted to bottle someone’s energy, passion and enthusiasm so you could have it for yourself?! That’s exactly how I felt after talking with today’s podcast guest. We had such a spirited, enthusiastic conversation around middle grade books and could have talked for hours.

Today, I’m talking with Elly Swartz. She has written multiple well-loved middle grade novels including Finding Perfect, Smart Cookie, Give & Take, Dear Student and her most recent publication: Hidden Truths. 

Listen as we explore her book and the themes found inside, the role books can play in supporting mental health and what’s coming next for her. 

You’ll find the show notes for the episode with links to all of the books and resources mentioned right here.
