On this episode of the KidLit Love podcast, I’m talking with Alison Green Myers about her newest middle grade novel: THIS WAY TO HAPPY.

This is a heartwarming novel about loss, friendship and the many paths we take to create happiness set at a family amusement park. I hugged the book when I was finished and I did not want to let it go. 

Come listen as we talk about the inspiration for the book (that could be seen as 47 years in the making!), the importance of signs (both physical and metaphorical) and the beautiful hope Alison has for the book and its readers. 

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!
