In this week’s episode of The Bookshop at the End of the Internet, author Darlene Beck-Jacobson discusses her latest middle grade novel, Wishes, Dares and How to Stand Up to a Bully. It is a coming of age story about losing a family member, summer vacation, learning how to be brave and a fish who grants wishes. This book was Darlene’s first novel in verse, and she found the experience of fashioning a story out of the poems she wrote to be both intriguing and joyful. Wishes, Dares and How to Stand Up to a Bully is Darlene’s second book. Her debut work, the award-winning Wheels of Change, is middle grade historical fiction about racial intolerance, social change and sweeping progress set at the turn of the twentieth century. Tune in to hear Darlene discuss her writing journey, discovering her uniquely middle grade voice and the wonderful story behind her latest book’s delightful cover art.
