Book people are the best people and today, I’m talking to one of my favorites: John Schu. 

Affectionately known as Mr. Schu online, John is the fiercest, most passionate book advocate I know. He’s been sharing the book love for years as an educator, librarian, Scholastic Book Ambassador and now, as a writer himself. 

Come join me as we talk about the power of books and story and celebrate the launch of his powerful new middle grade verse novel: Louder Than Hunger. 

Here are the books mentioned in this episode. You’ll find links to my Amazon and Bookshop affiliate stores below. Thanks for your bookish support!
