On this episode of the KidLit Love podcast, I’m talking with Jessica Vitalis about her newest historical fiction novel-in-verse: Unsinkable Cayenne. 

This book follows Cayenne as her unconventional family settles down and attempts to make roots in a single place. It’s filled with themes of family, friendship, belonging and social class while also connecting the fascinating topic of the Titanic.

Come listen as we talk about the book, the importance of real stories for real readers, the distinction between hope and happiness and so much more. 

Here are the books mentioned in this episode. You’ll find links to my Amazon and Bookshop affiliate stores below. Thanks for your bookish support!
