On this episode of the KidLit Love podcast, I’m talking with Rainie Oet about her debut middle grade novel: Glitch Girl. 

This is a lyrical novel-in-verse that places transness and neurodiversity front and center in the most raw, real and beautiful way. It will go straight to your heart.

Come listen as we talk about Rainie’s love of poetry and how it connects to her published books, the role that books can have in finding yourself and building empathy and her hopes for what the book can give readers and what they can give the book, too. 

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!
