It’s always a good day when a Judy Blume book takes center stage on the pod… and it’s one of those good days!

On Episode 153, Alli and her guest have a conversation about Otherwise Known as Sheila the Great, an installment in the beloved Fudge series that was published in 1972. They talk about Sheila’s many fears and anxieties, books as windows and mirrors, old tech, summer camp, slam books, and body shaming. Guest S.K. Ali also shares about the many important impacts this book — and Judy Blume, in general — had on her as a young reader and writer.

S.K. Ali is the award-winning author of Saints and Misfits, Love from A to Z, and Misfit in Love. Follow her on Instagram (@skalibooks) and Twitter (@SajidahWrites).
