Alan Gratz Talks Ban This Book

Bent Biblios Podcast

Welcome to the Bent Biblios Podcast! On this episode we had the opportunity to sit down with Alan Gratz and talk all about his middle grade novel, Ban This Book. Alan is a #1 New York Times Bestselling author of over a dozen novels, including Refugee, which has been on the New York Times Bestseller list for over three years now, Something Rotten, The Brooklyn Nine, Ban This Book and more.
Ban This Book is about a fascinating, important and timely topic - the banning of books. We dive deep into why we are so passionate about this issue, the consequences of book banning, the importance of inclusive stories... we chat about it all.
We also talk to Alan about how he gets in the head space of a middle schooler, books that have had the biggest impact on him throughout his life, Dav Pilkey and so much more.
You can find all of Alan's novels wherever books are sold.
