Description

E.L. Konigsburg’s Jennifer, Hecate, Macbeth, William McKinley, and Me, Elizabeth may have the longest title of any book covered on SSR so far, but that’s not the only special thing about it! This award-winning middle grade title also features unique characters, a relatable voice, and one fifth-grader’s journey to find friendship through witchcraft. Spooky! On Episode 164, Alli and her guest use Jennifer, Hecate, Macbeth, William McKinley, and Me, Elizabeth as a jumping-off point for conversations about toxic friendships, portrayals of race, the “not like other girls” trope, being mean to mean girls, Ayahuasca, and more.Trish Doller is the author of Float Plan and The Suite Spot. When she's not writing, Trish loves sailing, camping, and avoiding housework. She lives in southwest Florida with an opinionated herding dog and an ex-pirate. Find Trish on Twitter (@trishdoller) and Instagram (@trishdoller).

Each week, freelance writer and lifelong bookworm Alli Hoff Kosik will challenge a guest to reread a literary throwback or to experience for the first time ever a book they may have missed as a kid. After that, they'll be asked to spill all the feels and all the opinions about that book on the air for your podcast-listening pleasure. Every Tuesday, you can find us breaking down an old school read from our tween and teen days on a new episode of the show. We'll cover everything from The Baby-Sitters Club to Holes, Nancy Drew to Harry Potter. This time around, we're a little wiser (yay!), a lot older (ugh.), and of legal age to drink wine... so we'll have a lot to say. Happy Reading!
