"When I think about the books I’ve most loved writing, it always it comes back to stories for middle grade readers. I so love that audience. I love their unquenchable curiosity. Their fierce idealism. And their boundless imaginations." @kaaauthor.bsky.social mrschureads.blogspot.com/2025/06/a-gu...

Very interesting article about the glacial pace and lofty ideals of publishing keeping up with today’s kids. He advocates for Hi-lo and one-off books, not just relying on #graphicnovels and Diary of a Wimpy Kid. I’ve been adding Hi-los and they are checking out more, so I think he’s onto something
