In today’s episode, Alex and Tara sit down with the wisdom-filled talent Gayle Forman.
An award-winning author and journalist, Gayle has written several bestselling novels, including those in the Just One Day series, Where She Went, and the #1 New York Times bestseller If I Stay, which has been translated into more than forty languages and was adapted into a major motion picture. Her first middle-grade novel, Frankie & Bug, was a New York Times best children’s book of the year. Her second middle-grade novel Not Nothing has been hailed as a “masterpiece” and the “book we all need at the time we all need it.”
Listen as they discuss her most recent Middle-Grade novel, NOT NOTHING, the importance of empathy in fiction, respect across generations, how she wrote a book for young readers from the POV of a 107-year-old Holocaust survivor, Jewish heritage, the real-life figures who inspired Josey and Olka’s story, and social media and her relationship with it.
