Lounging with Books

Welcome to our Monday morning podcast! We are two friends keeping in touch through the power of books.

This week we are joined by YA and children’s author Keith Gray. Keith joins us for our review of ‘The Machine Gunners’ by Robert Westhall. This book is one of his favourites and still inspires him today. After the review, we ask Keith questions about his new book, writing for reluctant readers, and his upcoming projects!
