Shamrock News Presents: It's Lit Podcast

We couldn't figure out which Greek/Roman/Norse mythology book to feature on the podcast, so instead, this week's episode features Norah, Emily, Kiana, and Mr. Dix talking about awesome author Rick Riordan! We delve into our favorite series of his, our favorite books within our favorite series, and we assemble a team of Riordan characters that we think could defeat Thanos.

This week's episode features Silas, Chyanne, LilyAnne, and Mr. Dix recommending novels they love that were eventually turned into movies or television shows that can be watched on Netflix. Listen to hear us excitedly discuss Jenny Han's To All the Boys I Loved Before, The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind by Bryan Mealer and William Kamkwamba, The Umbrella Academy by Gerard Way, and JRR Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings.

Join us this week as we engage in a deep dive dialogue about the YA classic The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. Kalea, Chyanne, Gigi, and Mr. Dix discuss their favorite characters, favorite quotes, most surprising moments, most relatable moments, and more!

This week's podcast is a 10/10 Would Recommend pod, and the theme is Leading Lionhearted Ladies, which means that our four podcasters (Norah, Mr. Dix, Kalea, and Olivia) all promoted a book that features a brave and courageous adolescent lady. Listen in and hear us rave about The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan, Dread Nation by Justina Ireland, Turtles All the Way Down by John Green, and Counting by 7s by Holly Goldberg Sloan.
