One self-proclaimed, avid reader and one reluctant reader, discussing contemporary, young adult literature. Sounds like the opening to an epic tale, but really this is just the journey of two middle school teachers who are embarking on a quest to find the best books for kids. Recognizing that they represent two bookends of the reading spectrum, Scott and Katie, are looking to find the books that will speak to students’ minds and hearts (and maybe get one or two of them to pick up a book every once in a while). But, I guess, that’s just novel reading. Logo Credit: @fearlessfallon (Instagram)

Books that are Evocative Empathy Builders

This week’s episode features a book that both Scott and Katie agree is the perfect window and mirror for all readers: Garvey in the Dark by Nikki Grimes. Told in verse, and set in the backdrop of the COVID-19 shutdown, the main character Garvey is learning to grapple with his new “normal” leaving school because of the virus. Join Scott and Katie this week as they share their own memories of the COVID-19 lockdown, and discuss Garvey’s experience with this historical event and more!
