In this podcast, I explain how I got turned on to the reading of Children's and Young People's Fiction, why I continue with selections from this field even today and how I come to learn about new books to seek out even though I am not in the classroom any more. I use the book In the Wild Light by Jeffrey Zentner to explore how we can help young people delve into issues like faith, friendship, loss, addiction and planning for the future while enhancing a love of reading for its own sake. Jeffrey Zentner is a good choice for this because he was a musician first and played backup for some major stars before he turned to writing books for young people. That's the kind of author a lot of young people can identify with.
