Join the Worlds of Words Center Teen Reading Ambassadors (TRAP) as we discuss The Strange Case of Harleen and Harley by Melissa Marr . In a special combined group of middle and high school readers, the Reading Ambassadors came together where story worlds collide -- in this case, DC Comics, the gothic world of Robert Lewis Stevenson, and author Melissa Marr's imagination. We thoroughly enjoyed Melissa's second visit with us, especially she shares her writing process and thoughts on book challenges. We also give a shout out to illustrator Jenn St-Onge . Program note: Melissa discussed Dissociative Identity Disorder as distinct from the literary theme of the duality of human nature with us. In this episode Reading Ambassadors using terms such as "alter egos" refer to the literary theme, not the mental health condition. Authors/books mentioned in this episode: The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson Guadalupe García McCall , who joined us in WOW Reads' Season 1 . This podcast was recorded in the U of A College of Education media studio with assistance from the U of A COE Tech Team. Producer/Host: Rebecca Ballenger, Worlds of Words Center Associate Director Lit Discussant: Kait Waterhouse, U of A COE Graduate Assistant Learning & Engagement Intern: Bonnie Rock, U of A W.E.

Join the Worlds of Words Center Middle School Reading Ambassadors (MSRAP) as we recap our experience around Buffalo Dreamer by Violet Duncan . In this episode, we discuss... Our connections with the main character, Summer, and the fun we have when we reunite with distant family. How Buffalo Dreamer is the first formal introduction for the Reading Ambassadors about Residential/Industrial Schools for Indigenous children in North America, and how we can carry this new information forward. We consider the idea of "moving forwards, backwards" (sourced from University of Arizona faculty member, Sheilah Nicholas ), and how even when history doesn't repeat itself, it can often "rhyme." The empathy and admiration we have for Violet Duncan after her book was announced as a finalist for the 2024 National Book Award for Young People's Literature. It can be hard to be in the spotlight, but this award is well-deserved. Violet embodied grace and generosity on her visit, and we are thankful she took time to share her time with us. Bonus Book Mentions: We Are the Water Protectors by Carole Lindstrom and Michaela Goade Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech Rez Dogs by Joseph Bruchac And maybe someone can help us locate the title of a book about a young girl who is a member of the Yaqui Tribe and successfully petitions to save a tree?

Relationships and mind reading and how we can short ourselves and those around us when we start to guess what other people are thinking. And Rebecca gets corrected by Emaline. Chow says, "Oh, yeah, yes, yes, yes, many, many times," when asked if it made her sad writing a book about her father. You can't get anything past these Middle School Reading Ambassadors!
