Podcast #086

For my eighty-sixth Dream Gardens children’s books podcast, I interviewed author Paula Chase Hyman about the upper middle grade novel Maybe He Just Likes You by Barbara Dee. Seventh grader Mila doesn’t know what do at when a group of boys start harassing her in increasingly uncomfortable ways, but she soon finds some allies and her own voice in this timely and empowering story.

Paula Chase Hyman is author of  such books as the Del Rio Bey series, and the middle grade novels Dough Boys and So Done. Her latest middle grade novel is Turning Point. In addition, she is one of the founders and a contributor to the Brown Bookshelf Blog. Her website can be found at paulachasehyman.com (previously paulachasebooks.com), and the website for the Brown Bookshelf can be found at thebrownbookshelf.com.
