Kidlit Love: Conversations with Picture Book, Middle Grade and YA Authors

E117: Heart-Warming Horror: It’s Watching by Lindsay Currie


Listen Later

On this episode of the KidLit Love podcast, I’m talking with Lindsay Currie about her newest middle grade mystery: It’s Watching. 

This book is set in a real-life graveyard in Illinois and follows Josie and her friends as they try to land the perfect story for their school newspaper, but get so much more they didn't expect. 

Come listen as we talk about the real life connections to the fictional spookiness, the deeper themes evident alongside the mystery and the new genre Lindsay has brought into existence. This is one of my favorite conversations on the podcast.
