Newbery Medalist Meg Medina joins Reading in the Middle to talk about courage, culture, and her latest novel, Graciela in the Abyss. From Merci Suárez Changes Gears to sea-deep fantasy, Meg shares how stories help readers find their light and build empathy.

Hear Meg reflect on balancing humor and heart, writing girls who speak their truth, and why she believes every reader carries their own light even in the deepest waters.

Listen if you love: stories that celebrate identity, family, and friendship; interviews that feel like coffee with your favorite librarian; and conversations that meet you right in the middle.
