On this episode of the KidLit Love podcast, I’m talking with Elly Swartz about her newest middle grade novel: Same Page. 

This book is a book for every book-lover. It follows Bess Stein, her friends and a group of rockstar librarians called The Book Warriors as they fight against book-banning. Plus, it’s a book about families and how they work, anxiety and the toolkits we can build for ourselves and so much more. 

Come listen as we talk about the power of middle grade books, the importance of reading freedom and how we can all find ourselves on the page. 

One more thing: We are offering a GIVE-AWAY if you listen to this episode! Listen, find the post for this episode on social media and tag your favorite book warriors. We’ll choose a winner to receive a SIGNED BOOK on Same Page’s book birthday: January 14!
