Teacher friends, it’s Marie here, and I’m extra excited for you to hear today’s episode. I get to sit down with middle grades author James Ponti! James is here to tell us about his inspiration behind The Sherlock Society, his journey from working in television to becoming an author, and so much more.

To top it all off, my middle school son Wyatt is acting as my co-host to help me interview James!  Wyatt has read some of James’ books and is a big fan, so it’s amazing to hear the excitement in their voices when they talk to each other.

If you aren’t already familiar with James Ponti’s books, check them out after listening to this interview! We love them because of how engaging and accessible they are for the middle-grades audience. During our conversation, James even gave some ideas of how you could pair The Sherlock Society with other texts for a thematic unit.
