On this episode of the KidLit Love podcast, I’m talking with Hope Larson about her newest middle grade graphic novel: Very Bad at Math.

In this semi-autobiographical graphic novel, readers meet Verity, an 8th grader who is seemingly perfect at everything….except math, something Verity tries to keep a secret.

Come listen as we talk about the important role that comics and graphic novels play in a reading life, the personal connections Hope has to Verity and how hard it can be to ask for help. 

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!
