This week on the podcast, Katie and Karin are discussing Owl's Nest Classics.

What is an Owl's Nest Classic? They are reprints of classic works that capture the imagination of teen and middle grade readers.

Listen to hear why we are passionate about these annotated classics and our plans for future releases!
