On this episode of the KidLit Love podcast, I’m talking with Julia DeVillers about her newest upper middle grade rom-com: MEET ME AT WONDERLAND.

This is the perfect rom-com for readers who have grown out of the friendship-driven middle grade reads and are ready to explore romance at an age-appropriate level.

Come listen as we talk about the real-life costume inspiration behind this ‘moose-cute’, the dual perspective format sure to invite all readers into the pages, the innovative way Julia wrote truly real characters and the hope she has for readers in a world that can at times, be overwhelming.
