Katherine Applegate stops by The Yarn to talk about Odder

September 19, 2022 by Colby Sharp   Leave a Comment

COLBY: I had a lot of fun chatting with Katherine Applegate about her new book Odder. The interview took place a couple of weeks ago, and I wasn’t able to get my hands on a copy of the book beforehand, so this might be the only interview I have ever done for The Yarn without reading the book. It was a fun challenge.

I have since read Odder, and I am a big fan of this novel in verse. I think kids are going to love it, too!

Below you can will find my conversation with Katherine. Be sure to subscribe to The Yarn on your podcast listening app of choice.
