The Newbery Report

Mrs. Frisby is just a single mother of four, trying her best to raise her half-mutant mouselings in the shadow of a mysterious past and some downright weird neighbors. Carolyn loves this book like rodents love shiny trash, but Kerry’s unconvinced. Let’s shift this cinderblock!

Sara Godfrey is having the, like, worst summer ever. Pressing questions include hormones, puce shoes, and wait - where's Charlie? Kerry fights to get Carolyn and special guest Steph Leke on board with the wild ride of puberty.

Our very first episode, and of course it’s also our first dead dog! There’s eatin’, and sleepin’ and talkin’ and settin’ that goes on, along with severed ears, purloined pork, and inscrutable mythological metaphors. Kerry and Carolyn are joined by special guest host Steph Leke.

The first episode of the Newbery Report - all about Sounder by William H. Armstrong - hits your iTunes cue on Tuesday, October 10th!
