On this episode of the KidLit Love podcast, I’m talking with Holly Goldberg Sloan about her newest middle grade novel: FINDING LOST.

In this book, readers meet Cordy, a girl who is grieving the loss of her father when a scrappy dog wanders into her life, a dog she names Lost. 

Come listen as we talk about Holly’s background in film and television, the character-driven way she starts her stories, her personal connections to the book and her hopes for readers to feel deeply and share those feelings with others. 

You’ll find the show notes for the episode with links to all of the books and resources mentioned right here: https://www.alitlife.com/2025/11/17/honoring-friendship-owls-fall-feast-fiasco-by-kristen-remenar/
