“How do we react to fear?” – Kate Messner Visits The Yarn

May 16, 2018 by Colby Sharp   2 comments

Colby: I had the opportunity to interview Kate Messner for The Yarn in St. Louis during the NCTE Annual Conference last fall. Talking to her about her innovative 2018 middle grade novel was enlightening. I hope you like the episode!

After the podcast interview, I did a video interview with Kate. Check that out below.
