Welcome to YA month! We're starting off the month talking about the fundamentals of the genre: what is it, why is it, and is it even a real genre? We get into the politics of ratings for books, letting kids pick their own reads, the YA author's obligation to hopefulness, and we name more books than ever, maybe. This month we’re reading Eggshell by Olivia De Zilva. Grab your copy and have a read before our bookclub on 23rd April, and don't miss Olivia's episode with us next week where we talk about our fave YA books! *This is definitely a joke. Don't do drugs, kids!
