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

E5: Arianne Costner: Confessions of a Class Clown


Listen Later

Sometimes, we all need a little whimsy in the books we are reading, especially when we are reading middle grade novels. 

Today’s guest gives us that whimsy and much, much more. Arianne Costner is here to talk about her two middle grade novels: My Life as a Potato and Confessions of a Class Clown. 

Both have lightness and fun along with relatable scenarios and life lessons that can be taken from the page. We talk about her journey to middle grade novelist, the why behind her writing and much more. 

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