On this episode of the KidLit Love podcast, I’m talking with Amy Makechnie about her newest middle grade novel: The McNifficents.

This middle grade novel tells the story of six rambunctious children and their nanny, who happens to be a very dignified Miniature Schnauzer.

Come listen as we talk about Amy’s journey to children’s literature, how her first middle grade novel was originally written for adults and how pieces of her real life are woven throughout the pages. The conversation was fun, uplifting and I can’t wait to read her entire backlist.

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!
