The best book I've read lately

12 authors share their kidlit recommendations

Over nearly 125 episodes, the ‘10 minutes with’ segment on the Your Kid’s Next Read podcast has feature an incredible range of authors, from international bestsellers to international award-winners, from first timers to the well established.

In each interview, Allison cuts to the heart of an author’s new book, bringing the time-poor YKNR audience right to the essence of what makes that author special.

One thing we always make time for is asking each author to recommend a children’s or YA book they’ve recently read and adored. As you can imagine, this makes for a diverse and insightful collection of really good books for all types of readers.

But they’ve only been available in the podcast interviews, because we don’t include them in the show notes – until now.

We’re starting out below with 12 recommendations from recent episodes. But watch this space – there are a lot more where these came from.
