#33 Gertie’s Leap to Greatness Unravelled (S2 E4)
Colby: I’m excited to share our last episode of Season 2. I have really enjoyed following debut author Kate Beasley’s road to publication. It is pretty wild to think that we first starting working on this season over a year ago. In today’s episode Kate talks about Gertie’s Leap to Greatness. I loved listening to the tape of Kate and Travis Jonker talking in a high school classroom during Nerd Camp last summer.
Audio from GERTIE’S LEAP TO GREATNESS, narrated by Tara Sands, excerpted courtesy Listening Library.
