Realizing Shelf Help rarely gets questions about books for children, the booksellers – Emma, Jack and Kari – had a ton of fun discussing answers to this very common question. All agreed that The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making and The Winternight Trilogy would be great books for any child with a high reading level who's not quite ready for teen and adult topics. They also offered unique picks, such as Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata. We hope they help those of you with children in your life who pose this dilemma.
(Episode 19, premiered 09.27.22)
CONGRATS Shelf Help Podcast on reaching 1000 downloads! Shelf Help is a collaboration between the Book Jam, a nonprofit designed to inspire readers; CATV/JAM Upper Valley media community; three Upper Valley bookstores: Yankee Bookshop in Woodstock, VT; the Norwich Bookstore in Norwich, VT; and Still North Books & Bar in Hanover, NH.
