It’s such a treat to have Susan Tan back on the podcast today to discuss Ghosts, Toasts, and Other Hazards: a middle-grade novel about a girl who must overcome her worries to find the truth behind her town’s urban legend.
“This book honors the bravery that every kid holds inside them. As always, Susan Tan’s writing is funny, fun, and hits straight to the heart.” —Christina Soontorvat, two-time Newbery Honor recipient
