Register now for our World Mythology Readers Theater class from September 2022- to May 2023. 

Your kids will love learning mythology this way- and even if they are back in school, this group meets in the evening! 

Sometimes you need a quiet book to really make you think about things. The Ice House is one of those. I'm still thinking about different aspects of the plot weeks later. I hope you enjoy listening in as I chat with the author, Monica Sherwood.

Are you a picky eater? How about your kids? Imagine a world where your eating habits determine your educational trajectory- I would not do well there. Pre-order now and read The League of Picky Eaters on November 2, 2021.

Missing Okalee is a book that you need to get now. I know adults tend to shy away from handing "sad" books to kids. Try and resist that urge to protect and shelter your middle-grade kids. Bad things happen throughout life and if they luckily have no experience with death yet- they will and reading about other kids will give their brains a peg of understanding to fall back on.

Listen in as our Tween group peppers one of the many SG Wilson's of the multiverse about his amazing book.

Listen in as our Advanced Kids Class Ages 6-9 absolutely inundates Sarah with questions!

The Cryptid Catcher is the best. I went a little overboard in my enthusiasm for all cryptids- Lija ironically pulled me back from the edge of full fangirling. But, seriously, if you've got a kid who heads straight for the shelf of mysteries like Nessie, Bigfoot, and the like, this is the book series/podcast for you.

Jessica and I talk about her new book BFF or NRF (NOT REALLY FRIENDS) - A GIRLS GUIDE TO HAPPY FRIENDSHIPS

I highly recommend it to all girls and their parents! We can break that mean-girl atmosphere if we work together.

This podcast was a joy to record. Lisa is awesome and her book intertwines what is a sweet animal story with the more serious backdrop of 9/11 seamlessly. Elvis and the World as it Stands is available now!
