On this episode, we chat with young author Ben Levin about his book "In The Hole", a story of one family's struggle with homelessness. We also dive into the different aspects of homelessness, the research Ben did for this book, his young adult audience and how important storytelling is in children's literature. Ben has been in love with stories ever since he was a little boy and has written many throughout his life. “Stories just constantly pop into my mind like magic, and I feel a need to share them with other kids,” says the teenager. Born in Lexington, Massachusetts, the New England native currently lives in Montvale, New Jersey with his parents, his little brother, Jake, and their two dogs, Stark and Sherlock. When he isn't writing, Ben enjoys reading, playing sports, hanging out with friends—and listening to the Beatles.Ben is also proud to be autistic and wants to use his status as an author on the spectrum to be an example of how autism is not a setback, but a gift. He wants other people on the spectrum to know that they are as capable of following their dreams as anyone else. “The label doesn't matter,” says Ben. “We are capable of making our dreams come true too!”Ben's WebsiteIn The Hole on AmazonJumpmaster PressKristin's WebsiteRalph's LinktreeMike Lupica's WebsiteDISCALIMER:The views expressed on the Hey Let Me Ask You Something Podcast are solely the opinions of your hosts Kristin Wood and Ralph Andracchio and are based on their years of practical and clinical experience.
