On this episode of the KidLit Love podcast, I’m talking with James Preller about his newest middle grade novel: Shaken. 

This book is about a girl who has dedicated her whole life to soccer and finds herself with a serious concussion after a play went wrong in the game. The aftermath is difficult and threatens to undo everything Kristy has worked for. 

Come listen as we talk about James’ wide career across multiple levels and genres, how he follows his enthusiasm when deciding what to write next and the learning process of bringing a book to life. 

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!
