On this episode of the KidLit Love podcast, I’m talking with Alyssa Colman about her newest middle grade historical fiction novel: WHERE ONLY STORMS GROW.

This gripping middle grade historical fiction novel is set during one of the most dangerous storms in American history and has some of the most heartfelt characters you’ll ever meet on the page.

Come listen as we talk about why Alyssa shifted from fantasy to historical fiction, her brilliant writing and research hack, the inspiration behind the book and her hope for readers about finding their multitudes, even those passions that come from limitations. 

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!
