Show notes

Welcome to the latest episode of Book Quest!

This week’s episode is all about growing up, with all its big emotions, brilliant friendships, and moments of not quite knowing where you fit yet.

We’re joined by Katya Balen, who tells us all about her brand-new book Letters from the Upside: Callie Chaos, a story packed with heart, humour, and the wonderfully complicated business of figuring yourself out.

Then, we slow things down with Robin by Sarah Ann Juckes, a quiet but powerful story exploring friendship, fear, and what it’s like when you’re trying to make sense of the world without having all the answers.
