Episode 29: 13 Little Blue Envelopes by Maureen Johnson

August 22, 2018 by Marie Macula in Episodes

Before Maureen Johnson was writing about supernatural serial killers in London, she was writing showtune-singing serial killers in...Amsterdam? Carey and Marie talk whimsical world-tripping adventures, slapstick comedy, terrible musicals and the boys that write them, and how, in fact, we would spend $1000 from a dead aunt. Does being an artist give you a license to be a butt? Find out within!


Content Notes

Grief, adults making bad decisions, teens making bad decisions, teens getting taken advantage of, sexual assault, internalized misogyny. In other words, 2005 YA in a book.

Episode 23: The Wyvern, the Witch, and the Wardrobe: The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland with Laila Vafaeezadeh

March 20, 2018 by Marie Macula in Episodes

It was so cold that Frienduary lasted into Smarch! This week, Laila Vafaeezadeh of Bigfoot and Bob joins us while we talk the Oz-infused, magic-stuffed, girl-empowered fantasy of The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland by Catherynne M. Valente. What makes a uniquely American fantasy? How do alternative publishing schemes aid and abet children's lit? And who else wants a wyverary as a best friend?

The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland In A Ship Of Her Own Making: Goodreads, Barnes and Noble, Amazon.com, Indiebound, Better World Books
