In this episode of the KidLit Love podcast, I’m talking with Matt Landis, a middle grade author whose books aim to make history “not boring”. His books certainly accomplish that mission, especially his newest series-starter National Archive Hunters: Capitol Chase.

Listen as we talk about his work as a history teacher, his middle grade books and his incredibly cool National RV Tour in 2025. You’ll want to get your school on his itinerary after listening!

Here’s the book we took a deep dive into inside of this episode. You’ll find links to my Amazon and Bookshop affiliate stores below. Thanks for your bookish support!
