In this episode of the Middle Grade Matters podcast, I interview author Marie Benedict about her new middle grade novel, The Secrets of Lovelace Academy. The conversation explores the collaboration between Marie and co-author Courtney Scheinmel, the historical context of the story, the challenges faced by young girls in education during the early 1900s, and the relatable themes of classism and resilience. Marie shares insights into the writing process, the fun and fast-paced nature of the book, and the importance of bringing historical figures to life for younger readers. She highlights the historical context of women's roles in STEM, the challenges faced by female characters in her stories, and offers valuable advice for aspiring writers.
