Jesobel Jones is bold and beautiful. The daughter of a hand model and a washed-up rock star, she sees no need to apologise for her rambling house, her imperfect family, her single status... or her weight. Jess makes her own cupcakes and she eats them, too. That is, until own clothes day rolls around. Jess and her friends dedicate the required hours of planning to their outfits.
I’ve said it many times, and I’ll say it again: Young Adult Literature isn’t just for young adults anymore. There is a wide range of categories within the YA genre: Sci-Fi, Romance, Fantasy, Contemporary, LGBTQ+, Dystopian, Mystery, Thriller… you name it. These books often lend themselves to relevant, real life issues with sometimes multiple perspectives. We can all learn something from a YA novel.
Eric and Kelly discuss the ways graphic novels and YA have excellent crossover appeal, consider why we don’t see enough animals in YA fiction, and round out the show talking about baseball (and books, obviously). Sponsored by Rebel With A Cupcake by Anna Mainwaring from KCP Loft and Brightly Burning by Alexa Donne. Hey YA is available on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Google Play, and right here on Book Riot.
Jesobel Jones is bold and brash, the daughter of a hand model and a washed-up rock star. Jess sees no need to apologize for her rambling house, her imperfect family, her single status ... or her weight. Jess is who she is. She makes her own cupcakes and she eats them, too. No regrets. That is, until Own Clothes Day rolls around at school. Jess and her friends dedicate the requisite hours of planning to their outfits, their hair and their makeup for the one day they are free from school uniforms.
