On this episode of the KidLit Love podcast, I’m talking with Emma Otheguy about her middle grade fantasy novel: COUSINS IN THE TIME OF MAGIC.

In this book, three cousins get transported back to 1862 to play an important role in The Battle of Puebla, the reason we celebrate Cinco de Mayo today. This enchanting middle grade fantasy adventure will teach you a thing or two and give you a new family to root for, too.

Come listen as we talk about Emma’s journey to children’s literature via a PhD in History, the elements of our history that she threads together so beautifully in the book and her goal for all readers…not to mention a sneak peek into the sequel!

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!
