Brenna and Joe tackle our second namesake in as many weeks with a deep dive into John Green's 2012 realist YA The Fault In Our Stars and Josh Boone's 2014 film adaptation. The discussion skews a little more towards the book, including Green's extensive fan community, issues of representing "cancer kids" authentically and Joe's issues with the character of Gus.
Plus: our news is dedicated exclusively to Canadian Indigenous content! Joe discusses Patti LaBoucane-Benson's graphic novel The Outside Circle while Brenna recommends both Pemmican Wars (written by Katherine Vermette and illustrated by Scott B. Henderson), as well as Cherie Dimaline’s The Marrow Thieves, which was recently optioned for TV.
